EMy Daddy was a rounder 
Had to make himself some change 
E7Climbed down off the mountain 
Shaved his head and caught a train 
But I kAeep my G#mskillet F#mgreasy 
EKeep my lAamp G#mtrimmed 'n' Elow 
My wAeary G#mfeet, these fF#mloors I wEalk 
But Awhy I'll never kBnow 
And I hEear echoes of his heart 
Beating bBack from distant lEands 
And I hear the lonesome whistle 
Of that trBain that stole my Eman

EAnd I cuddle to my child 
Teach him to bear the shame 
To take the blows 
That choose the frows and 
Earn an honest name 
But mAoney's rG#munning F#mlow, you kEnow? 
No fAriends to G#mhelp me tEhrough 
Just oAne last tG#mhing F#mI can seEll 
And tAhat will have to Bdo 
But I fEeel hunger in my sunken cheeks 
In the tBremble of my hEand 
And I feel the rumblin' of the wheels 
Of that tBrain that stole my mEan

As the day goes walkin' west 
And Magnus comes a-crawlin' 
Through that hole inside my breast 
And sAorrow sG#mings the sF#mimple sEong 
That sAcreams the G#mwhole night tEhrough 
A mAeloG#mdy of F#mhim and Eme 
That nAever rang so tBrue 
And I sEee dark clouds on the rise 
And I see mBidgets in the sEand 
They paint my sight with visions 
Of that trBain that stole my mEan

EAnd I dreamt I found his crossroads 
In the lBand of sticks and sEtones 
Where the peggy worries of the heart 
Are Bworries so unEknown 
He tAook me G#min his F#marms, you kEnow 
And tAied me G#mto his sEide 
CAaught that fG#mirst wind F#moff the hEills 
And fuArther we did rBide 
Well I fEelt his touch upon my breast 
That uBnforgiving hEand 
But when I woke, could smell the smoke 
Of that tBrain that stole my mEan

ENow the wind runs through my skin 
And the rBain runs through my eEyes 
Can't find no ground to hold my feet 
Lord kBnows how hard I tEries! 
For cAome the dG#mawn, I'll cF#mlean my tEeeth 
And pAowder G#mup my cEhest 
Take Aoff this fG#maded aF#mpron, bEabe 
And put oAn my Sunday bBest 
To bEind the strings to fix my heart 
I'm gBonna look to holy lEands 
And lay my back down on the track 
Of that tBrain that stole my mEan

The Train That Stole My Man (Two Gallants)

E E7

Intro:

A G#m F#m E

A G#m E

A G#m F#m E

A B

E B E

My Daddy was a rounder

Had to make himself some change

Climbed down off the mountain

Shaved his head and caught a train

A G#m F#m

But I keep my skillet greasy

E A G#m E

Keep my lamp trimmed 'n' low

A G#m F#m E

My weary feet, these floors I walk

A B

But why I'll never know

And I hear echoes of his heart

B E

Beating back from distant lands

And I hear the lonesome whistle

B E

Of that train that stole my man

And I cuddle to my child

Teach him to bear the shame

To take the blows

That choose the frows and

Earn an honest name

A G#m F#m E

But money's running low, you know?

A G#m E

No friends to help me through

A G#m F#m E

Just one last thing I can sell

A B

And that will have to do

But I feel hunger in my sunken cheeks

B E

In the tremble of my hand

And I feel the rumblin' of the wheels

B E

Of that train that stole my man

Bridge:

G#m F#m E

B E

My mind just takes to ramblin'

As the day goes walkin' west

And Magnus comes a-crawlin'

Through that hole inside my breast

A G#m F#m E

And sorrow sings the simple song

A G#m E

That screams the whole night through

A G#m F#m E

A melody of him and me

A B

That never rang so true

And I see dark clouds on the rise

B E

And I see midgets in the sand

They paint my sight with visions

B E

Of that train that stole my man

Bridge:

G#m F#m E

B E

And I dreamt I found his crossroads

B E

In the land of sticks and stones

Where the peggy worries of the heart

B E

Are worries so unknown

A G#m F#m E

He took me in his arms, you know

A G#m E

And tied me to his side

A G#m F#m E

Caught that first wind off the hills

A B

And further we did ride

Well I felt his touch upon my breast

B E

That unforgiving hand

But when I woke, could smell the smoke

B E

Of that train that stole my man

Bridge:

G#m F#m E

B E

Now the wind runs through my skin

B E

And the rain runs through my eyes

Can't find no ground to hold my feet

B E

Lord knows how hard I tries!

A G#m F#m E

For come the dawn, I'll clean my teeth

A G#m E

And powder up my chest

A G#m F#m E

Take off this faded apron, babe

A B

And put on my Sunday best

To bind the strings to fix my heart

B E

I'm gonna look to holy lands

And lay my back down on the track

B E

Of that train that stole my man

B D E D# E D E

Outro: 2x

G#m F#m E
