Verse 1:
A A7sus4 A
Sam had a nice profession,
(A) A7sus4
Well it was really more an obsession,
A A7sus4
He didn't have a single possession,
A A7sus4 Bm
Just affection for a steam machine,
Dm E
Its simply Green-- her name is Glory,
Verse 2:
A A7sus4 A
The village folks they often wonder,
(A) A7sus4
Where Glory gets her fire and thunder,
A A7sus4 A
Magic things Sam must conjure,
Bm
Museum on the Rails--
Dm A
A legend of Old Tales--Glory
[Train fx]
Cue: ("Everybody on the train")
Bm E A
They climb aboard, wipe their feet,
(A) F#m
Would you kindly take your seats,
Bm E
Sam pulls a cord,
A A7sus4 A
And a whistle is absorbed,
Bm E
Sam calls to ev'ryone,
Amaj7 F#m
"Let's have fun--This could be our last run!",
Dm
He didn't know how right he was,
E A
A shock for him was in the post--now!
[Orchestral Instrumental]
Verse 3:
A A7sus4 A
A letter headed Railway Company,
(A) A7sus4
Found its way to his house on Monday,
A A7sus4
Read: 'Your route is uneconomical,
A A7sus4 Bm
Very sorry, we got to be logical,
Dm
And when the month ends,
E
Glory is redundant'.
Verse 4:
A A7sus4 A=
Then a strange sound in the night,
A A7sus4
Made the people wake with fright,
A A7sus4
A Green Machine with a yellow light,
A A7sus4
With Sam on top--steams out of sight,
Bm Dm A
Leaving behind puzzled minds
