Вступление
[Verse 1]
Em D
Whenever you see a train go by
C * Em
Or hear an engine's whistle cry
Em D
Think of the man on the old footplate
C * Em
Shovelling coal, the driver's mate.
[Chorus]
G D
A local fireman is my grade
C * Em
Boiling water is my trade
G D
The driver thinks he runs the show
C * Em
But if I'm not there the train won't go.
[Verse 2]
Em D
Heaving coal for a hungry fire
C * Em
Sweating cobs to get steam higher.
Em D
Of the collier's harvest that I burn
C * Em
With toil and sweat, my wages earn.
[Chorus]
G D
A local fireman is my grade
C * Em
Boiling water is my trade
G D
The driver thinks he runs the show
C * Em
But if I'm not there the train won't go.
[Verse 3]
Em D
The driver sits there like a god
C * Em
A decent mate but an idle sod.
Em D
Though I'll be shovelling on my knees
C * Em
Still he'll sit there at his ease.
[Chorus]
G D
A local fireman is my grade
C * Em
Boiling water is my trade
G D
The driver thinks he runs the show
C * Em
But if I'm not there the train won't go.
[Verse 4]
Em D
The pick and shovel are tools of my trade
C * Em
And two strong arms to swing the blade.
Em D
Hands with palms as hard as leather
C * Em
And nimble feet as light as a feather.
[Chorus]
G D
A local fireman is my grade
C * Em
Boiling water is my trade
G D
The driver thinks he runs the show
C * Em
But if I'm not there the train won't go.
[Verse 5]
Em D
One day a driver I will be
C * Em
Of the pick and shovel I'll be free.
Em D
Until that day I'll shift the coal
C * Em
Raising stream so the train can roll.
[Chorus]
G D
A local fireman is my grade
C * Em
Boiling water is my trade
G D
The driver thinks he runs the show
C * Em
But if I'm not there the train won't go.
