The Chief Engineer David Francey
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G C G C G
At twelve he met his true love
On the [C]banks of the Zuider [G]Zee
There was smoke upon the water
[C]Diesel on the [G]breeze
[D]Down the iron gangway
Down into the noise
[G]Down beside his destiny
Be[C]side his pride and [G]joy
CHORUS:
And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
And the [C]engines [G]singing
Their [D]siren [Em]song
And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
[C]Listens to those [G]engines sing
Their [D]siren [Em]song[C] [G] [D] [G]
Years upon the ocean
U[C]pon the lakes and [G]seas
Down below the water line
Was [C]where he chose to [G]be
He [D]listened hard to what they said
Their thunder up and down
And he [G]heard their finest whisper
And he [C]understood their [G]sound
CHORUS:
And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
The [C]engines [G]singing
Their [D]siren [Em]song
And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
And he [C]listens to those [G]engines sing
Their [D]siren [Em]song[C] [G] [D] [G]

CHORUS:
And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
And the [C]engines [G]singing

And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
[C]Listens to those [G]engines sing
Their [D]siren [Em]song[C] [G] [D] [G]
He said he's always loved them
The [C]oil and the [G]steel
Speaks to his perfection of
His [C]mechanized [G]idyll
[D]Sets his eyes to shining
Like the dials down below
Like they [G]did beside the Zuider Zee
So [C]many years [G]ago
CHORUS:
And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
And the [C]engines [G]singing
Their [D]siren [Em]song
And he [C]keeps us [G]rolling
Keeps us [D]rolling [G]on
And the [C]engines [G]singing
Their [D]siren [Em]song
