[Intro]
Em D C
[Verse]
GBilly was a hard workin', steel drivin' man
Working on the Drail everGyday
7 days a week and 16 hours a day
Hoping he would Dfind a better Gway
He saw many of his friends fall to the ground
And die an ugly Ddeath on the Grail
Unmarked graves all along his way
Haunt Billy in his Dmind everyGday
[Chorus]
So Billy Emlet your hammer ring on that railroad track
Keep rolling your load and never look back
Keep Asinging your song, slowly as you go
If dB7eath comes creeping don't let it take your EsoulD  C  
[Solo]
G D G D G
Em A B7 E D C

GBilly keeps swinging his hammer all day
While fearing of a Dcold dark Ggrave
Seen many men die right before his eyes
To this day Billy Dstill hears their Gcry
[Chorus]
So Billy Emlet your hammer ring on that railroad track
Keep rolling your load and never look back
Keep Asinging your song, slowly as you go
If B7death comes creeping don't let it take your EsoulD  C

Keep rolling your load and never look back
Keep sAinging your song, slowly as you go
