Casey Jones Was His Name Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]A long time ago
In a town in Tennessee
There lived a man
And he [A]was brave as he could [D]be
By [G]the sweat of his brow
He earned [C]fortune and fame
[D]Casey Jones was his [G]name

[Verse 2]
From [G]Memphis, Tennessee
On that Cannonball Express
By the whining of the whistle
You could [A]tell him from [D]the rest
Past [G]the old plantations
With their [C]cotton and cane
[D]Casey Jones was his [G]name

[Verse 3]
[G]Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Over Over Over the rails
he'd go
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Bravin' rain [A]rain rain [D]and snow
[G]Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two
was [C]was was his train
[D]Casey Jones was his [G]name

[Verse 4]
[G]Runnin' late through Sardis
Past Winona on the fly
Like lightnin' chasin' thunder
through [A]the stairways of [D]the sky
When [G]we heard his engine moanin'
And [C]the story is claimed
[D]Casey Jones was his [G]name

[Verse 5]
[G]Then on that fatal night
He made his final run
Near Vaughan, Mississippi
[A]He knew his time [D]had come
Too [G]late he saw ahead
There's that[C]ta old freight train
Now the le[D]gend,
Casey Jones was his [G]name

[Verse 6]
[G]Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Over Over Over the rails
he'd go
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Bravin' rain [A]rain rain [D]and snow
[G]Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two
was [C]was was his train
[D]Casey Jones was his [G]name
