A very easy song, and underrated at that! Classic Johnny right here. Standard tuning, no capo. (This is a GREAT song for beginner guitarists). 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)

^GCome all you rounders if you wanna hear, The story about a ^Cbrave engi^D7neer. ^GCasey Jones was the roller's name, On a 68 wheeler course he ^D7rode to ^Gfame.

(Verse 2)

^GCaller called Casey bout half past four, He kissed his wife at the ^Cstation ^D7door. He ^Gclimbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand, Said this is the trip to the ^D7Promised L^Gand.

(Chorus)

Casey Jones, climbed in the ^Dcabin, ^GCasey Jones, orders in his ^Dhand, ^GCasey Jones, leaning out the ^Dwindow, ^GMaking a trip to the ^DPromised ^GLand.

(Verse 3)

^GThrough South Memphis Yards on a fly, Rain been a falling and the ^Cwater was ^D7high. ^GEverybody knew by the engine's moan, That the man at the throttle was ^D7Casey ^GJones.

(Verse 4)

^GWell Jones said fireman now don't you fret, Sam Webb said "We ai^Cn't a givi^D7ng up yet, We're ^Geight hours late with the southbound mail, We'll be on time or we're ^D7leaving the ^Grails."

(Chorus) (Verse 5)

^GDead on the rail was a passenger train, Blood was a boiling in ^CCasey's ^D7brain. ^GCasey said "Hey now look out ahead, Jump Sam jump or ^D7we'll all ^Gbe dead."

(Verse 6)

^GWith a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake, North Mississippi was ^Cwide ^D7awake. ^GI see railroad official said, "He's a good engineer to ^D7be a l^Gying dead."

(Chorus) (Verse 7)

^GHeadaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain, All the part of a ^Crailroad ^D7train. ^GSweat and toil the good and the grand, Are part of the life of a ^D7railroad ^Gman.

(Chorus) And that is all, hope you enjoy! :) -Joe
