Hes Gone

												
F                    F7
Rat in a train ditch, caught on a limb,
 
A#         C      F
You know better but I know him.
 
F                   F7
Like I told you, what I said,
 
A#           C        F
Steal your face right off your head.
 
F        A# F           A# F   A#   C
Now he's gone, now he's gone.  Be's gone.
 
       A#               C
Like a steam locomotive rollin' down the track,
 
     A#              F              F7/D#     A#         F
Be's gone, gone, and nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone.
 
 
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile, nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile.
 
C               D#                 A#
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
 
C                 D#                 A#
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
 
D#            A#           G#
Lost one round but the prize wasn't anything,
 
  D#           D#m      A#          C
A knife in the back and more of the same, same old.
