GUY CLARK - Accordi - Texas 1947
Gestisci
--Key----Delay----Bpm: 72---Guitar--Piano-
Song:  Texas 1947
Artist: Guy Clark
Transcribed by: T. Hickson

lot of the subtleties, but it's a nice, easy way to play it. Guy makes
the verses build as if a train is approaching and passing you by, but you
gotta hear it to make it work.

___________________________________________________________


Now bein' six years old

I'd seen some trains before,

so it's hard to figure out

what I'm at the depot for.


Trains are big and black and smokin' steam,

screamin' at the wheels,

bigger than anything there is,

at least that's the way she feels


Trains are big and black and smokin',

louder than July four,

but everybody's actin' like

this might be somethin' more...


...than just pickin' up the mail

or the soldiers from the war,

this is somethin' that even old man Wileman (?)

never seen before.

BRIDGE:

And it's late afternoon

on a hot Texas day,

somethin' strange is goin' on

and we's all in the way.


Well there's fifty or sixty people

they're just sittin' on their cars,

and the old men left their dominoes

and they come down from the bars.


Everybody's checkin',

old Jack Kittrel(?) checked his watch,

and us kids put our ears

to the rails to hear 'em pop.


So we already knowed

when they finally said 'train time'

you'd a-thought that Jesus Christ himself

was rollin' down the line.


Cuz things got real quiet,

Momma jerked me back,

not before I'd got the chance

to lay a nickel on the track.

CHORUS:


Look out here she comes, she's comin',

Look out there she goes, she's gone,

screamin' straight through Texas

like a mad dog cyclone.

Big, red, and silver,

she don't make no smoke,

she's a fast-rollin' streamline

come to show the folks.

Look out here she comes, she's comin'

Look out there she goes, she's gone,

screamin' straight through Texas

like a mad dog cyclone.



...Lord, she never even stopped.



She left fifty or sixty people

still sittin' on their cars,

and they're wonderin' what it's comin' to

and how it got this far.


Oh but me I got a nickel smashed

flatter than a dime

by a mad dog, runaway

red-silver streamline...train
