Key F capo 5
[Intro]
Am F G Am7 F G
Am F G Am7 F G
[Verse 1]
C F C
August 2019 and five
G C
Miss burning off the sun’s rising high
F C
And the steam from the engine mixes with the fog
G
Till ones just like the next
C
Cut by the whistle call
[Verse 2]
C F C
Mind your job boys and take your work to heart
G C
One wrong move and we’ll all be torn apart
F C
There’s no room for error, short death for mistakes
G
If pride in your work won’t guide you
C
Let the fear of God today
[Chorus]
Am G F C
Pennies on the track boys, pennies on the tracks
Am G F C
Lay em down today cause I might not be back
Am Em F C
If I lose control running down the grade
F C G C
And the Carolina special takes another life today
F C G Am
The Carolina special takes another life today
[Verse 3]
C F C
In ninety days, they took the line up the grade
G C
A hundred men, convicts a little more than slaves
F
All gave there days and many gave their life
G C
To cut a flat above the river of this luxury line
[Verse 4]
C F C
They crushed the rock and they cut the earth away
G C
And they crushed those men as the progress was made
F C
Every white man lost sense was written down
G C
Not those scores of men of the kind we didn’t count
[Chorus]
Am G F C
Pennies on the track boys, pennies on the tracks
Am G F C
Lay em down today cause I might not be back
Am Em F C
If I lose control running down the grade
F C G C
And the Carolina special takes another life today
F C G Am
The Carolina special takes another life today
[Bridge]
Am G F G
Two hundred tons a rolling down the line
Am G F G
Cold steel cradle for a hundred lives
Am G F G
Screaming down the mountain, chaos control
Am G F G
All aboard praying that the brakeman’s keep hold
Am G F G
We’re flying by the graves of those who came before us
Am C F G
The men who shaped this ground and were buried in the forest
Am G F G
They call to me as we pass by
Am G F G
Some men live and some men die
Am G F G
Some men live and some men die
Am G F G
And the Carolina special is the finest line
Am G F G
Of the finest steel and finest design
Am G F G
And I think she’s gonna get us through safe today
Am G F G
Then keep those spirits calls at bay
Am G F G
I think she’s gonna get us through safe today
Am G F G C
I think she’s gonna make it through today

[Verse 6]
C F C
My wife begged this morning, said please don’t go
G C
Your family needs you more than they need you on that railroad
F C
I said, settle down, don’t you worry
G C
And I lied and said nothing could happen to me
F C
The man wants to be part of something greater than he is
G C
Leave a mark to show that he lived
C
He might dance with danger
F C
He might dance with death
G C
And I might today before I’m home to rest
[Chorus]
Am G F C
Pennies on the track boys, pennies on the tracks
Am G F C
Lay em down today cause I might not be back
Am Em F C
If I lose control running down the grade
F C G C
And the Carolina special takes another life today
F C G Am
The Carolina special takes another life today
[Outro]
F G Am
Another life today
F G Am
Another life today
F G Am F G Am
