Chords in this song · guitar

Desert train,

I'm gonna chase you down.

Makes no difference,

Where you're bound.

I wanna ride,

Rockin' the coals still

F Am

under the desert train.

Desert train,

You got a voice like thunder.

You got a song makes me,

Have to wonder,

What it's like,

To fly like a bat out of

F Am

Hell on a desert train.

And I'll be,

Gone like a ghost standing in the shadows,

Gone like a tumbleweed when the wind blows,

G Em Am

Gone like the souls who have vanished from the plains.

And I'll be,

Gone like a dream of days gone by and,

Gone like a string of boxcars flying,

G Em Am

Gone in the belly of a whale of a desert train.

Came out here,

Washed my hands,

Cleansed my sins, all those

Ancient sins

Oh but I,

Found no place out,

F Am

Here to hide my sorrow.

Desert train,

I'm a lot like you,

On my own,

Passing through,

This land.

Take me through the

F Am

Dust storms of tomorrow.

And I'll be,

Gone like a ghost standing in the shadows,

Gone like a tumbleweed when the wind blows,

G Em Am

Gone like the souls who have vanished from the plains.

And I'll be,

Gone like a dream of days gone by and,

Gone like a string of boxcars flying,

G Em Am

Gone in the belly of a whale of a desert train.
