G: 320033 C: x32010 D7: xxx212 D: xxx232 Note: You can also play a regular D in place of the D7, both sound correct. Just don't play D7 in place of D in the chorus, it sounds a bit off. Intro: G (With some country/bluegrass plucking) (Verse 1)
G Come all you rounders if you wanna hear,
C D7 The story about a brave engineer.
G Casey Jones was the roller's name,
D7 G On a 68 wheeler course he rode to fame. (Verse 2)
G Caller called Casey bout half past four,
C D7 He kissed his wife at the station door.
G He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand,
D7 G Said this is the trip to the Promised Land. (Chorus)
D Casey Jones, climbed in the cabin,
G D Casey Jones, orders in his hand,
G D Casey Jones, leaning out the window,
G D G Making a trip to the Promised Land. (Verse 3)
G Through South Memphis Yards on a fly,
C D7 Rain been a falling and the water was high.
G Everybody knew by the engine's moan,
D7 G That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones. (Verse 4)
G Well Jones said fireman now don't you fret,
C D7 Sam Webb said "We ain't a giving up yet,
G We're eight hours late with the southbound mail,

G Dead on the rail was a passenger train,
C D7 Blood was a boiling in Casey's brain.

D7 G "He's a good engineer to be a lying dead." (Chorus) (Verse 7)
G Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain,
C D7 All the part of a railroad train.
