                     Drivin' that train, high on cocaine
                     F                               add6  F                C        
                     Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed
                     C               F                       add6
                     Trouble ahead, trouble behind
                     F                                add6 F                       C       C Thing
                     And you know that notion just crossed my mind

       C                       D
       This old engine makes it on time
       F                                                G
       Leaves central station 'bout a quarter to nine
       C                                   D
       Hits River Junction at seventeen to
               F               E7                         Am           G
       At a quarter to ten you know it's travelin' again

                     Drivin' that train, high on cocaine
                     Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed
                     Trouble ahead, trouble behind
                     And you know that notion just crossed my mind

                                   C                    C# D
                                   Trouble ahead, a lady in red
                                   F                                       G
                                   Take my advice you'd be better off dead
                                   C                                           D
                                   Switch man sleepin', train a hundred and two
                                       F                    E7           Am              G
                                   Is on the wrong track and headed for you

                     Drivin' that train, high on cocaine
                     Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed
                     Trouble ahead, trouble behind
                     And you know that notion just crossed my mind
                                          *Solo*     (verse & chorus)

       Trouble with you is the trouble with me
       Got two good eyes but we still don't see
       Come 'round the bend, you know it's the end
       The fireman screams and the engine just gleams

                     Drivin' that train, high on cocaine
                     Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed
                     Trouble ahead, trouble behind
                     And you know that notion just crossed my mind

                     Drivin' that train, high on cocaine
                     Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed
                     Trouble ahead, trouble behind
                     And you know that notion just crossed my mind

                     Drivin' that train, high on cocaine
                     Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed
                     Trouble ahead, trouble behind
                     And you know that notion just crossed my mind
                                                                          (repeat chorus)

                     And you know that notion just crossed my mind...
