Cm G
Blowin' smoke, blowin' smoke, Chasin' steel, chasin' steel
Cm G
Sometimes freedom, sometimes freedom, we must steal for it to feel real
Cm G
Waitin' on that low hum, roll slow
Cm G
Who would pay to see how smooth it rolls?
Cm G
Breathe deep, breathe deep, Into the lungs, into the lungs
Cm G
Freedom tastes, freedom tastes, just like the sun your tongue
Cm G
Songs are sung, but wars are never won
Cm (once) G (once)
If we are one why can't we stare down the barrel of this gun
(Tempo Increases)
Cm G
And oh these walls, some are bricks and some are alcohol
Cm G
Some of them we can't even see at all
Cm G
Some are hate, ignorance and rage
Cm G (once)
Either way we've locked ourselves up in our own f**king cage
G# / G / G# / G
Bridge
G# G
Play your roll, burn more coal, the whole train load full
G# G
Gag and choke on stagnant smoke, the burning of ancient bones
G# G
Won't you let this monster roll across the prairies wide
G# G (once)
Iron, steel, and diesel dreams, These mountains steal my breath but not my life
(Tempo Decreases)
Cm / G / Cm / G
Cm G
Cold winds blow, cold winds blow, Pick your car and count the bolts
Cm G
Kill the crops, Kill the crops, Dig the soul out of mountain tops
Cm G
Happiness is a cold cold gutter, air brakes scream and engines sputter
Cm G
Sister, brother, tell me where did we get lost?
