SPIKE DRIVIN' MAN
CHRIS KNIGHT
TRAILER TAPES
Tabbed By: Renfield
D
I musta been born
With steel in my hand
A
Probably gonna die
D
A Spike Drivin' Man
D
I just lay the rail
I don't drive a train
A
But if it jumps the track
D
I'm gonna hear my name
D
Train master says
This train better roll
A
Gotta pull the big boss's
D
cars of coal
D
So I work all night
In the pouring rain
A
I hate the train master
D
And I hate his train
G
Trains roll on and on
D
Don't never turn me lose
Em
I toss and turn all night long
Cadd9 G D
Got the Spike Drivin Blues
D
On my way home
Train blocks the road
A
Always make me wait
D
Make supper cold
D
Then me and my wife
Go to sleep in our bed
A
'Till the high ball comes
D
And wakes the dead
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
D
Used to ride the caboose
Used to run the brake
A
'Till the bossman said
D
that job aint' safe
D
Now I'm back on the rail
A hammer in my hand
A
I know I'm gonna die
D
A Spike Drivin' Man
[Repeat Chorus]
D
Spike Drivin' Blues
Drive a man insane
A
I hate the train master
D
And I hate his train
**NOTE** Chris periodically plays a hammer-on with his middle finger on the D and A strings
at the 3rd fret - Listen to the recording, it's pretty easy to figure out.
