it was a [A]slow train [Bm]coming

and we've [D]all got a train to catch

but [A]lord, take your [Bm]filthy claws off[D] the rest of my friends. [A]

that is, of[Bm] course, i[D]f they ain't already dead.

[A]i make no [Bm]demands. [D]i just made amends.

i made my [A]bed and i'mma lie [Bm]in it

but before i [D]die...please...don't take any more of my [A]friends  [Bm]       [D]

please don't take any more of my [A]friends.  [Bm]

[A]the smoke didn't kill [Bm]johnny. the [D]drink didn't kill johnny.

[A]the junk didn't kill j[Bm]ohnny. and [D]the women didn't kill johnny.

was it the [A]road? i don't [Bm]know.

was it rock [D]and roll? i don't think so.
