Coal-train Robberies

Written by Elvis Costello

	  		
verse 1 

            Am                 G 
Yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter 
F 
Cutting 
           C       G       F      G      E 
And as the signals took an age to change it was 
E7 
Easy pickings 
F 
So you go to the movies where they smash it up 
G 
You want to feel your heart pumping it makes 

You feel good 
C                                  G 
All through the karaoke girls were squealing 

The hits 
C                   G                  E  E7 
As another Mercedes-Benz gets blown to bits 
              Am                    G 
While all the time in the camp town theaters 
   F 
Of Piccadilly 
                 C       G          F 
They're going to throw a black-face minstrel 
G            E 
Show for the barefoot children 
             E7 
That they're always selling 
    F 
They'll say "It's quaint" as the guilty ones faint 
    G 
And claim they ain't underneath this paint 
       C           G 
We interrupt these liberal saints with their 
F         E 
Whips and watermelon

Am F Dm G Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery Am F Dm G It's like another world, or it had better be

Am G So we return to whitewashed pout of his F Committed lips C G F Since he was declared the long lost fountain G E E7 Of youth that drips and drips and drips F They'll be sending him round from door to door G To sell you back what's already yours C G "So many good deeds, so little time" C G E E7 Say the advertising agency swine F When man has destroyed what he thinks he owns G I hope no living thing cries over his bones C G If you don't believe that I'm going for good C G You can count the days I'm gone and chop up E E7 The chairs for firewood
