Verse 1:

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh he feels the pistons scraping
Steam breaking on his brow

Chorus:

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won’t stop going
Noway to slow down
Ohhhhhhhh!

Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
He sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun!
Oh hes crawling down the corridor

On his hands and knees

Chorus:

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won’t stop going
Noway to slow down
A-hey Heey!

Flute Solo
(Play the verse chords)

Verse 3:
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And all the time the winner
Has got him by the balls!
Oh he picks up Gidon’s Bible
Open at page one

Chorus
I thank God he stole the handle
And the train it won’t stop going
No way to slow down

Repeat “No way to slow down” with the Am C G Am progression
and fade out.

“The distinguishing mark of man is the hand,
the instrument with which he does all his mischief…”
