My favourite Grateful Dead song. I was really surprised there were no chords to it here, so I decided to add them. It's very simple, really.
Intro:
C F
Chorus:
C F
Driving that train, High on cocaine
F F
Casey Jones you'd better, watch your speed
C F
Trouble ahead, Trouble behind
F C C F
And you know that notion, just crossed my mind
Verse 1:
C D
This old engine, makes it on time
F G
Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine
C G D
Hits River Juction, at seventeen-to
F E7 Am G
At a quarter to ten you know it's trav'lin' again
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
C C/A# D
Trouble ahead, the lady in red
F G
Take my advice, you'd be better off dead
C D
Switch-Man's sleeping, Train Hundred-and-Two is
F E7 Am G
On the wrong track and headed for you
(Chorus)
Solo 1 - C D F G (one bar each) then F E7 Am G (half bar each)
Solo 2 - C F (one bar) F (1 and a half) C (1 and a half) F to the end
C F
Verse 3:
C D
Trouble with you is Trouble with me, Got
F G
Two good eyes but still don't see
C D
Come round the bend, you know it's the end,
F E7 Am G
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams
(Chorus twice)
then the chorus with C Bb (half bar) F (that half plus another one and half)
C (half plus whole bar) Bb (half bar) F (half bar plus TWO whole)
Bb (half) F (half plus one and half) C (half plus one)
Bb (half) F (half plus TWO)
and then:
A7 D G7 C
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Explanation on the bar-half bar bit:
This song's structure is simple - it's a 4/4 beat
so when I say whole bar I mean four beats, and when I say half bar I mean two beats. Just tap them with your feet.
That's it!!!!
