Dm F
rabbit fled , best guess , toward home
A#maj7
fox and bear toward yellowstone

walrus , north to the border towns
Dm F
peacock swayed like a reed on the fence a while
A#maj7
( with a stalwart sense of style! )

as the policemens nets came down
Dm F
word of the crash had spread fast and spread far
A#maj7
from clarks fork to blackfoot reservoir
Gm
more grist for the malady mill

Dm F
shepherd the southwest wind ,
G A# C
“railspikes ripped like the seam of a wineskin”
Dm F
shepherd the northwest rain ,
G A# C
“brass hat slept at the helm of that woeful train
Dm F
aint it an awful shame!
G A# C
and dont it just break your heart to hear of so much
A# C
to hear of so much pain?”

Dm F
casey jones walked slow to the prison cell
A#maj7
his face held hard as a scallop shell

Dm
[ conductor : ] “well , i wish i wished you well ,
F
but your last friend on earth now calls
A#maj7
from the silent side of the cemetery walls
Dm
your great cause to the moths and the rust!”
F
[ elephant ( fanning her ears with a calm in her eyes ) : ]
A#maj7
“its the laws of cause and effect that you criticize
Gm
but sir , criticize them you must”

[ three miles more til flagstaff
[ follow behind signs toward badger pass
[ wound like clocks around fretboards
[ carved out hands in our basswood
[ body guitars – borrowed guitars ( borrowed hands! )
[ im clearly not as handsome or caring as . .

Gm
what you seem to want ,
but id gladly walk you home ,
cause those streets can be dangerous

Dm F
shepherd the southwest wind ,
G A# C
“railspikes ripped like the seam of a wineskin”
Dm F
shepherd the northwest rain ,
G A# C
“frog switch slipped and that reckless beast is to blame
Dm F
aint it an awful shame!
G A# C
and dont it just break your heart to hear of so much pain?
Dm F
aint it an awful shame!
G A# C A# C
and dont it just break your heart , dont it just break your heart . .
A# C
dont it break your heart?”
