Locomotive Breath    Jethro Tull: 

Intro: 
Em      G D Em 

Em      G D Em 


Em                                Em  G D Em 
In the shuffling madness 
Em                            Em  G D Em 
of Locomotive Breath 
Em                         Em  G D B 
Runs the all-time loser 
B                           B  B D Em 
Headlong to his death 
Em                         Em  G D Em 
Oh He feels the pistons scraping 
Em                          Em  G D 
Steam Breaking on his brow 
G                            A 
Old Charlie stole the handle 
        B                                          B        D       Em 
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down 

He sees his children jumping off 
At stations one by one 
His woman and his best friend 
In bed and having fun 
Oh he's crawling down the corridor 
On his hands and knees 
Old Charlie stole the handle 
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down 

He hears the silence howling 
Catches angels as they fall 
And the all-time winner 
Has got him by the balls 
Oh he picks up gideon's Bible 
Open at page one 
I thank god He stole the handle 
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord B

    B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

  2. 2

    Practise the change: B ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
