The Chief Engineer Chords

(ver. 1)
David Francey
CAPO: 4th Fret




INTRO: G  C  G   C  G


At twelve he met his true love
       C                   G
On the banks of the Zuider Zee

There was smoke upon the water
C             G
Diesel on the breeze
D
Down the iron gangway

Down into the noise
G
Down beside his destiny
  C                  G
Beside his pride and joy


CHORUS:
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
        C       G
And the engines singing
      D     Em
Their siren song
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
C                G
Listens to those engines sing
      D     Em   C  G  D  G
Their siren song



Years upon the ocean
 C                 G
Upon the lakes and seas

Down below the water line
    C                 G
Was where he chose to be
   D
He listened hard to what they said

Their thunder up and down
       G
And he heard their finest whisper
       C                G
And he understood their sound


CHORUS:
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
    C       G
The engines singing
      D     Em
Their siren song
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
       C                G
And he listens to those engines sing
      D     Em   C  G  D  G
Their siren song


INSTRUMENTAL: G    D  G    D  G  D    G   D  G


CHORUS:
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
        C       G
And the engines singing
      D     Em
Their siren song
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
C                G
Listens to those engines sing
      D     Em   C  G  D  G
Their siren song



He said he's always loved them
    C           G
The oil and the steel

Speaks to his perfection of 
    C          G
His mechanized idyll
D
Sets his eyes to shining

Like the dials down below
          G
Like they did beside the Zuider Zee
   C          G
So many years ago


CHORUS:
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
        C       G
And the engines singing
      D     Em
Their siren song
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
        C       G
And the engines singing
      D     Em  
Their siren song


CHORUS:
       C        G
And he keeps us rolling
         D       G
Keeps us rolling on
    C                G
And listens to those engines sing
      D     Em
Their siren song
   C                G
He listens to those engines sing
      D     G   
Their siren song
