in 1817
C            G         Em
a train that rolled on steam
C   G        Em
heading for Denver
C      G         Em
in the middle of winter


Verse 2:
    C           G      Em
the brakes were frozen solid
C       G              Em
and the tempiture kept fallin'
C   G            Em
the tracks were broke
C          G             Em
and the conductor didn't know


Chorus:
C  G                  D
it rolled through the dusk

they kept sleeping in their bed
C          G        Em                     
until they woke up dead
