Travelling By Steam
Tono: Original
[Intro]
D G D G D A
[Verse]
D
With a steady hand on the lever
G A
And the signal ready to pass
G F#m
Keep the light burning, fireman
G A
And the water, well up in the glass
[Verse]
D
With a shoulder to the rail
G A
There's no better place to be
D G
Than the right side of the footplate
A D
When you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G A D G A
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G D Em A
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G A D G A
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G D A D G
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
[Verse]
D
Me granddaddy worked in the railway
G A
A bigwig, so I've heard talk
G F#m
Me father, he was a driver
G A
Travelling pit to port
[Verse]
D
And there's no better life for a young man
G A
With them you must agree
D G
When you're right side of the footplate
A D
And you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G A D G A
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G D Em A
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G A D G A
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G D A D G
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
[Verse]
D
Tomorrow it's off up to Banbury
G A
A lodging turn for me
G F#m
Where I can lay me head on a pillow
G A
In a room where I can sleep
[Verse]
D
And it's up and away in the morning
G A
And wipe the clock-face clean
D G
And you're right side of the footplate
A D
And you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G A D G A
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G D Em A
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G A D G A
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G D A D G D
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
[Verse]
D
So pick up yer traps and yer Tommy-box
G A
We're reaching the end of the line
G F#m
Keep yer eye on your watch, lad
G A
We'll bring her in on time
[Verse]
D
And it could have been life on the dole queue
G A
Or mining for coal at the seam
D G
But you're right side of the footplate
A D
And you're travelling by steam
[Chorus]
G A D G A
Stand in the bight, look for the green light
G D Em A
Voices that echo and ring down the line
G A D G A
One load to shed, then homeward we tread
G D A D G A D
Till morning and the coal-boy come singing
