G                      Em             C     G  
Well I woke my head up moaning on the motel floor 
G                           Em               C        G 
Got that old maid knocking, hoping she don’t knock no more 
        D                             G 
And I’m feeeeling I’m feeling kind of low 

G                       Em             C         G 
Gonna load that van up, run it off the old tight road 
G                        Em                   C        G 
Gonna throw my hands up, cause I ain’t at the wheel no more 
        D 
And I’m feeeeeling, I’m feeling like the  
C           G             C           G 
head is the tail, now the head is the tail 
   Em            C         G 
Im choking on my own smoke trail 
       Em          C              Dsus    C 
Better run, better run but you’re good as done 
   G          C    G        G          C    G 
My fate be an iron rail, my fate be an iron rail 

G                                            Em            C          G 
So it goes, so it goes and just keeps going, Shoveling the rich black coal 
G                                                       Em                    C        G 
Well the brakeman must’ve missed that whistle blowing, Just screaming as your own back Toils 
        D                           G 
And I’m feeeeeling at the end of my rope 

G                                    Em               C       G 
Well a tic tac toe at a window seat, strumming on the old banjo 
G                                               Em          C      G 
Well a couch that folds is a reason to cheat, a reason only no one knows 
        D 
And I’m feeeeeling, I’m feeling like the  
C           G             C           G 
head is the tail, now the head is the tail 
   Em            C         G 
Im choking on my own smoke trail 
       Em          C              Dsus    C 
Better run, better run but you’re good as done 
   G          C    G        G          C    G 
My fate be an iron rail, my fate be an iron rail 

G                            Em           C      G 
Well I got….that notion.  To jump out the skin I wore 
G                       Em                 C        G 
Set fire to that ocean, walking through my own back door 
       D 
And I’m feeeeeling, I’m feeling like the  
C           G             C           G 
head is the tail, now the head is the tail 
   Em            C         G 
Im choking on my own smoke trail 
       Em          C              Dsus    C 
Better run, better run but you’re good as done 
   G          C    G        G          C    G 
My fate be an iron rail, my fate be an iron rail
