Intro:

Bm,
G7  Bm (x2), Bm

Verse 1:

Bm (x24432@1)Sane, sane, they're all insane,
Fireman's blind; the conductor is lame.
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame,
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain.

Chorus 1:

     G7 (320001@1)        BmClap (x24432@1)hands, clap hands.
     G7 (320001@1)        BmClap (x24432@1)hands, clap hands.

Verse 2:

      BmSaid; (x24432@1)roar, roar, the thunder and the roar,
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more.
The moon in the window and a bird on the pole,
We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal.

Bridge 1:

      G7 (320001@1)            BmSaid; (x24432@1)steam, steam; a hundred bad dream,
G7 (320001@1)                       Bm (x24432@1)Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans.
  G7 (320001@1)                       BmA (x24432@1)fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat,
    G7And (320001@1)nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.

Verse 3:

Bm (x24432@1)Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar,
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more.

We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal.
