Travelling By Steam chords

[INTRO]
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A]

[VERSE]
With a [D]steady hand on the lever
And the [G]signal ready to [A]pass
Keep the light [G]burning, [F#m]fireman
And the [G]water, well up in the [A]glass

[VERSE]
With a [D]shoulder to the rail
There's no [G]better place to [A]be
Than the [D]right side of the [G]footplate
When you're [A]travelling by [D]steam

[CHORUS]
[G]Stand [A]in the [D]bight, look for the [G]green [A]light
[G]Voices that [D]echo and [Em]ring down the [A]line
[G]One [A]load to [D]shed, then homeward we [G]tre[A]ad
Till [G]morning and [D]the coal-boy come [A]sing[D]ing [G]

[VERSE]
Me [D]granddaddy worked in the railway
A [G]bigwig, so I've heard [A]talk
Me [G]father, he was a [F#m]driver
[G]Travelling pit to [A]port

[VERSE]
And there's [D]no better life for a young man
With [G]them you must a[A]gree
When you're [D]right side of the [G]footplate
And you're [A]travelling by [D]steam

[CHORUS]
[G]Stand [A]in the [D]bight, look for the [G]green [A]light
[G]Voices that [D]echo and [Em]ring down the [A]line
[G]One [A]load to [D]shed, then homeward we [G]tre[A]ad
Till [G]morning and [D]the coal-boy come [A]sing[D]ing [G]

[VERSE]
To[D]morrow it's off up to Banbury
A [G]lodging turn for [A]me
Where I can [G]lay me head on a [F#m]pillow
In a [G]room where I can [A]sleep

[VERSE]
And it's [D]up and away in the morning
And [G]wipe the clock-face [A]clean
And you're [D]right side of the [G]footplate
And you're [A]travelling by [D]steam

[CHORUS]
[G]Stand [A]in the [D]bight, look for the [G]green [A]light
[G]Voices that [D]echo and [Em]ring down the [A]line
[G]One [A]load to [D]shed, then homeward we [G]tre[A]ad
Till [G]morning and [D]the coal-boy come [A]sing[D]ing [G] [D]

[VERSE]
So [D]pick up yer traps and yer Tommy-box
We're [G]reaching the end of the [A]line
Keep yer [G]eye on your [F#m]watch, lad
We'll [G]bring her in on [A]time

[VERSE]
And it [D]could have been life on the dole queue
Or [G]mining for coal at the [A]seam
But you're [D]right side of the [G]footplate
And you're [A]travelling by [D]steam

[CHORUS]
[G]Stand [A]in the [D]bight, look for the [G]green [A]light
[G]Voices that [D]echo and [Em]ring down the [A]line
[G]One [A]load to [D]shed, then homeward we [G]tre[A]ad
Till [G]morning and [D]the coal-boy come [A]sing[D]ing [G] [A] [D]
