Painkiller chords

[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
I heard the first taste costs you a dime
A
They never mention how the prices climb
D
Mama, can you pick me up
                      A
In your steam-powered hearse?
       C
I'm on South High and Main
D                           A
Catching a train they call "Painkiller"
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
I hear the whistle and it's making me sweat
A
It's getting closer, but it ain't here yet
D                                          A

Climbing that smoke stack is gonna burn my brain
          C
Lord, I'm holding on tight
       D                             A
Try to get through the night, I'm on Painkiller
 
 
[Chorus]
C#  D       A
Painkiller, mama, won't you ease my mind?
C#  D       A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
The engineer, he likes to roll the bones
A
Hop on the mainline if you wanna get gone
D
Hammer that big spike
                      A
Gonna be the death of me (Woo)
         C                         D                    A
See, I'm fresh out of coal, just a lost soul running on Painkiller
 
 
[Chorus]
C#  D       A
Painkiller, mama, would you ease my mind?
C#  D       A                E        A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line (Ha ha!)

[Verse 4]
A
Looks like the devil set the wheels a flying
A
From West Virginia to the Tennessee line
D                                     A
Here comes the tunnel, I can't feel a thing
    C                          D
I'm running out of time to the end of the line
C                          D
Burning my brain until the very last grain
C                      D       G                A
Driving insane on this runaway train they call "Painkiller"
 
 
[Chorus]
C#  D       A               E       A
Painkiller, mama, would you ease my mind?
C#  D       A                E        A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line
           C#  D       A
I'm down a painkiller, mama, would you ease my mind?
C#  D       A                E        A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line
