| Intro: D,Am,C,G |
| Bm | |
| When the iceberg hit, |
| Am | |
| Oh they must have known, |
| C | |
| God moves on the water |
| G | |
| Like | Casey Jones. |
| Bm | |
| So I walked downtown |
| Am | |
| On | my telephone, |
| C | |
| And | took a lazy turn |
| G | D | |
| Through the | redeye zone | . |
| Bm | |
| It was a five-band bill, |
| Am | |
| A | two-dollar show. |
| C | |
| I saw the | van out in front |
| G | |
| From | Idaho, |
| Bm | |
| And the | girl passed out |
| Am | |
| In the backseat trash. |
| C | |
| There was | no way they'd make |
| G | D | |
| Even a | half a tank of gas | . |
| Bm | |
| They looked sick and stoned |
| Am | |
| And | strangely dressed. |
| C | |
| And | no one showed |
| G | |
| From the | local press. |
| Bm | |

| G | C | |
| In a | rock & roll band | . |

| Well they closed it down, |
| Am | |
| With the | sails in rags. |
| C | |
| And they | swept up the fags |
| G | |
| And the l | ocal rags. |
| Bm | |
| Threw the plastic cups |
| Am | |
| In the plastic bags, |
| C | |
| And the | cooks cleaned the kitchen |
| G | C | |
| With the | staggers and the jags | . |
| Break: D,Am,C,G |
| Bm | |
| Ruination day, |
| Am | |
| And the sky was red. |
| C | |
| I went | back to work, |
| G | |
| And | back to bed. |
| Bm | |
| And the iceberg broke, |
| Am | |
| And the | Okies fled, |
| C | |
| And the | Great Emancipator |
| G | D | |
| Took a | bullet in the back of the hea | d... |
