[Chorus]
C                            F
Driving that train, high on cocaine,
F                                                       C
Casey Jones you better watch your speed.
C                        F
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
F                                                                   C
and you know that notion just crossed my mind.

[Verse 1]
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                E                          Am        G
At a quarter to ten you know it’s travlin’ again.

[Chorus]
C                            F
Driving that train, high on cocaine,
F                                                       C
Casey Jones you better watch your speed.
C                        F
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
F                                                                  C
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

[Verse 2]
C                       D
Trouble ahead, lady in red,
F                                       G
Take my advice you’d be better off dead.
C                                            D
Switchman’s sleeping, train hundred and two is
F                      E               Am             G
On the wrong track and headed for you.

[Chorus]
C                            F
Driving that train, high on cocaine,
F                                                       C
Casey Jones you better watch your speed.
C                         F
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
F                                                                   C
and you know that notion just crossed my mind.
