Verse 1:

Am       G       Em
I'm leaving on a fast train 

Am    G        Em
Don't ask me when I'm coming back again

Am       G           Em
I reckon it's only a matter of time

Am         G   Em
Before the law kick in the door

Am     G   Em
Mother I'm running out of change,

Am           G                Em
but I had to phone to let you know

Chorus:

Dm   Am   G   Riff

They'll never take me alive

Dm   Am   G   Riff

They'll never take me alive

Verse 2:
Mother I killed someone
It wasn't that I hated him
You see, he was trying to stop me
but he found out I'd go the whole way

Chorus:
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me

verse 3:
I can't tell you how I feel
Maybe you don't wanna know
Maybe, maybe
But anyway, I love you so

Chorus:
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me

outro:

D5   A5   G5     (repeat till the end)

     They'll never take me alive
