Knopfler Mark - Gravy Train guitar tab

B

Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

Leaving all the places that they really ought to brave

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

E F#

Past the coal mines black and scarred

E F#

Starter houses in the loading yard

G#m F#

On the Gravy Train, On the Gravy Train

B

There's the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

Never thank each other or their lucky stars

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

E F#

That's worse than ingratitude

E F#

Worse than a piss poor attitude

G#m F#

On the Gravy Train, Gravy Train

B

Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

E F#

Some act tough, some act rude

E F#

Some bit of fluff complain about the food

B G#m

You wanna see somebody getting really rude

E

Get on the Gravy Train, Gravy Train

B

Well the golden goose is clattering-a-down the track,

E

And they're gonna be ridin' in an old caboose

C# F#

Coming back

Solo: C#

There's the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade

Ridin' on the Gravy Train

Free loader licks my boots

Tells me how he digs my suit

You got lucky son, don't get cute

Get on the Gravy Train
