[Intro]
G A C

[Verse]
    G        A         C           G 
For I am an engine and I'm rolling on
                 A           C             G 
the world is all bending and breaking from me
(or:through endless revision to say what I mean)
               A             C               G     
for sweetness alone who flew out through the window
                A         C          G   
and landed back home in a garden of green

[Instrumental]
A               C                   G
A               C                   G

[Chorus]
               A           C         G      
you're riding alone in the back of a steamer
                A            C           G    
and steaming yourself in the warm shower spray
                A          C              G    
and water rolls on off the round captains belly
                 A           C             G   
who's talking to tigers from his cafeteria tray

[Instrumental]
A               C                   G
A               C                   G

[Outro Chorus]
                      A           C             G      
and your sweet babies cry for the cool taste of milking
             A            C        G  
that milky delight that invited us all
                 A             C           G     
and if there's a taste in this life more inviting
                  A           C                           G    
than wake up your windows and watch as those sweet babies crawl
AC   G              A  C                           G   
awaaay yeah mmm mmm mmm dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee
A               C                   G
A               C                   G
