[Verse 1]
C          F      C
  August 2019 and five
G                                 C
Miss burning off the sun’s rising high
                              F              C
And the steam from the engine mixes with the fog
     G
Till ones just like the next
                   C
Cut by the whistle call

[Verse 2]
C                      F                 C
Mind your job boys and take your work to heart
G                                     C
One wrong move and we’ll all be torn apart
                                 F            C
There’s no room for error, short death for mistakes
   G
If pride in your work won’t guide you
                      C
Let the fear of God today

[Chorus]
Am                   G     F              C
Pennies on the track boys, pennies on the tracks
Am                G       F            C
Lay em down today cause I might not be back
     Am      Em   F                C
If I lose control running down the grade
        F        C              G             C
And the Carolina special takes another life today
    F        C              G             Am
The Carolina special takes another life today

[Verse 3]
C                               F           C
  In ninety days, they took the line up the grade
  G                                        C
A hundred men, convicts a little more than slaves
                        F
All gave there days and many gave their life
         G                                   C
To cut a flat above the river of this luxury line

[Verse 4]
C                              F              C
They crushed the rock and they cut the earth away
         G                                     C
And they crushed those men as the progress was made
                           F           C
Every white man lost sense was written down
G                                             C
Not those scores of men of the kind we didn’t count

[Chorus]
Am                   G     F              C
Pennies on the track boys, pennies on the tracks
Am                G       F            C
Lay em down today cause I might not be back
     Am      Em   F                C
If I lose control running down the grade
        F        C              G             C
And the Carolina special takes another life today
    F        C              G             Am
The Carolina special takes another life today

[Bridge]
Am          G      F                G
Two hundred tons a rolling down the line
Am         G            F            G
Cold steel cradle for a hundred lives
Am                 G         F        G
Screaming down the mountain, chaos control
Am         G                F               G
All aboard praying that the brakeman’s keep hold
      Am            G         F                G
We’re flying by the graves of those who came before us
    Am                  C               F             G
The men who shaped this ground and were buried in the forest
     Am      G     F       G
They call to me as we pass by
Am       G        F        G
Some men live and some men die
Am       G        F        G
Some men live and some men die
        Am       G              F      G
And the Carolina special is the finest line
       Am     G         F        G
Of the finest steel and finest design
      Am                G      F              G
And I think she’s gonna get us through safe today
     Am         G       F        G
Then keep those spirits calls at bay
  Am          G            F              G
I think she’s gonna get us through safe today
  Am          G     F  G                 C
I think she’s gonna    make it through today

[Verse 6]
   C                             F              C
My wife begged this morning, said  please don’t go
     G                                                C
Your family needs you more than they need you on that railroad
                     F         C
I said, settle down, don’t you worry
      G                                     C
And I lied and said nothing could happen to me
                                      F               C
The man wants to be part of something greater than he is
G                               C
   Leave a mark to show that he lived
C
He might dance with danger
   F                C
He might dance with death
    G                                C
And I might today before I’m home to rest

[Chorus]
Am                   G     F              C
Pennies on the track boys, pennies on the tracks
Am                G       F            C
Lay em down today cause I might not be back
     Am      Em   F                C
If I lose control running down the grade
        F        C              G             C
And the Carolina special takes another life today
    F        C              G             Am
The Carolina special takes another life today

[Outro]
F    G                Am
       Another life today
F    G                Am
       Another life today

F    G    Am    F    G    Am
