Introduction: Riff x2

E A7 E Riff

I'm the last of the good old puffer trains

E A7 E Riff

I'm the last of the blood and sweat brigade

A A7 E Riff

And I don't know where I'm going (going).... or why I came

G A A7 E Riffx2

I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam...powered trains

E A7 E Riff

I'm the last of the good old renegades

E A7 E Riff

All my friends are of middle class degree

A A7 E Riff

But I live in a museum (museum).... so I'm okay

G A A7 E Riffx2

I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam...powered trains

Riff x2

E A7 E Riff

Like the last of the good old choo-choo trains

E A7 E Riff

I'm the last of the blood and sweat brigade

A A7 E Riff

And I gonna keep on going (going)...till my dying day

G A A7 E Riffx2

I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam...powered trains

Solo Riff x12 (getting faster on 10) Then a chromatic ascent from E to E,

sliding down, leading to... Silence, Riff x2

E A7 E Riff

I'm the last of the good old puffer trains

E A7 E Riff

I'm the last of the soot and scum brigade

A A7 E Riff

And all this peaceful living (living).... drives me insane

G A A7 E Riffx2

I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam...powered trains

Riff x2

G A A7 EA7 G A7 E

I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam........powered trains

(steam steam)
