Song: Texas 1947
Artist: Guy Clark
Transcribed by: T. Hickson
>From the album "Keepers" (track 2), a live album. I'm probably missing a
lot of the subtleties, but it's a nice, easy way to play it. Guy makes
the verses build as if a train is approaching and passing you by, but you
gotta hear it to make it work.

[tab]Em
Now bein' six years old[/tab]
[tab] G
I'd seen some trains before,[/tab]
[tab] A
so it's hard to figure out[/tab]
[tab] B Em
what I'm at the depot for.[/tab]
[tab]Em
Trains are big and black and smokin' steam,[/tab]
[tab]G
screamin' at the wheels,[/tab]
[tab]A
bigger than anything there is,[/tab]
[tab] B Em
at least that's the way she feels[/tab]
[tab] B
Trains are big and black and smokin',[/tab]
louder than July four,
[tab] A
but everybody's actin' like[/tab]
[tab] B Em
this might be somethin' more...[/tab]
[tab]Em
...than just pickin' up the mail[/tab]
[tab] G
or the soldiers from the war,[/tab]
[tab] A
this is somethin' that even old man Wileman (?)[/tab]
[tab]B Em
never seen before.[/tab]
BRIDGE:
[tab] F#m
And it's late afternoon[/tab]
on a hot Texas day,
[tab] A
somethin' strange is goin' on[/tab]
[tab] B Em
and we's all in the way.[/tab]
[tab]Em
Well there's fifty or sixty people[/tab]
[tab] G
they're just sittin' on their cars,[/tab]
[tab] A
and the old men left their dominoes[/tab]
[tab] B Em
and they come down from the bars.[/tab]
[tab]Em
Everybody's checkin',[/tab]
[tab] G
old Jack Kittrel(?) checked his watch,[/tab]
[tab] A
and us kids put our ears[/tab]
[tab] B Em
to the rails to hear 'em pop.[/tab]
[tab] B
So we already knowed[/tab]
when they finally said 'train time'
[tab] A
you'd a-thought that Jesus Christ himself[/tab]
[tab] B Em
was rollin' down the line.[/tab]
[tab]Em
Cuz things got real quiet,[/tab]
[tab]G
Momma jerked me back,[/tab]
[tab]A
not before I'd got the chance[/tab]
[tab] B Em
to lay a nickel on the track.[/tab]
CHORUS:
[tab]E
Look out here she comes, she's comin',[/tab]
[tab]A
Look out there she goes, she's gone,[/tab]
[tab]B
screamin' straight through Texas[/tab]
[tab] A E
like a mad dog cyclone.[/tab]
[tab]B
Big, red, and silver,[/tab]
she don't make no smoke,
[tab] A
she's a fast-rollin' streamline[/tab]
[tab]B E
come to show the folks.[/tab]
[tab]E
Look out here she comes, she's comin'[/tab]
[tab]A
Look out there she goes, she's gone,[/tab]
[tab]B
screamin' straight through Texas[/tab]
[tab] A E
like a mad dog cyclone.[/tab]
[tab]Em
...Lord, she never even stopped.[/tab]
[tab]Em
She left fifty or sixty people[/tab]
[tab] G
still sittin' on their cars,[/tab]
[tab] A
and they're wonderin' what it's comin' to[/tab]
[tab] B Em
and how it got this far.[/tab]
[tab]Em
Oh but me I got a nickel smashed[/tab]
[tab]G
flatter than a dime[/tab]
[tab] A
by a mad dog, runaway[/tab]
[tab] B Em
red-silver streamline...train[/tab]
