Elix Dwayne - She Took The Engineer guitar tab

I wish to submit one of my songs that has done very well on country

music radio charts across Australia. The songÊhas just been re-recorded in

England by another artist " Johnny Duncan " and released on Rollcoaster

Records. I have had many new pereformers ask me about the song and could

I teach them the words and chord structure, it would be a lot easier if

they could just go to a web site. If you have any questions my direct

email address is dwayneelix@pocketmail.com.au If you are interested, I do

have other songs that have been Hits on the country charts in Australia

that I can email you. Kind Regards Dwayne Elix.

INTRO:

A//// //// C//// //// G//// ////

NC My Baby [C]left me for someone [G] new

And now she's [D] gone, I don't know what to [G] do.

She lives by the [C] station in a railroad [G] shack

With an engine [D] driver and she won't come [G] back.

Ê

[C]We had a [D] fine home [G] up on railroad hill

And [C] all the things I bought her, well [G] their all up here [D] still.

[C]But my baby [D] left me, [G] gone so far from here

[C]She didn't take the train, she [D] took the engin ö [G]-neer.

Ê

She packed her [C] suitcase, couldn't wait to [G] go

Left the ring I [D] gave her and a chuck of [G] coal.

She didn't make no [C] trouble, she walked out quieö[G]-tly

and all she left be-[D]-hind her was loneliness and [G] me.

Ê

[C]My baby [D] left me, now [G] all I do is cry

She [C] didn't give me no reason, she [G] didn't tell me [D] why

I [C] wish she was [D] in my arms sweet [G] talking in my ear

My [C] baby didn't take the train, she [D] took the engin ö [G]-neer.

Ê

Now every night I [C] lie here trying to get some [G] sleep

Counting railway [D] carriages instead of counting [G] sheep.

And even when Iâm [C] dreaming it's engineers and [G] trains

Come to get my [D] baby, it's driving me in-[G]-sane.

Ê

Now [C] when a freight rolls [D] down the track,

it [G] chills me to the bone.

I can't [C] stand to see a steaming kettle

or [G] hear a whistle [D] blow.

[C]Cause my baby [D] left me, [G] gone so far from here

[C]She didn't take the train, she [D] took the engin ö [G]-neer

[C]My baby didn't take the train, she [D] took the engin ö [G]-neer.
