and chorus in the picking pattern above.

Verse 1

E        A                 E
So few remaining Rainwater Rats
B                             A
Fewer could tell you what the nickname meant
E                   B       A                 E
They still live and die near an aging railway line
                B           A
Blessed once-an-hour by its passing

Bridge 1

E  A  E  A

Verse 2

         E               B        A                 E
When the siren broke the silence, heralding mid-day
             B          A        E
I'd rant and curse the awakening
      B                  G#m          F#m             E
I was tinder-sparked and smoking, the air raid wasn’t helping
   B               A                              C#m
My head was in the clouds, my wheels were spinning

Chorus

         B          F#m E A     E
The only thing that never breaks
         B                   A    E
Constant passing, thundering rails
         B                   A    F#m
Constant passing, thundering rails
                    A                      E
Logan County had me screaming bloody murder
                  B                   A    E
With the constant sound of thundering rails
         B                   A
Constant sound of thundering rails

Bridge 2

E B A  E B A  E  A  E  A   E

Verse 3

       B                A                       E
Now my face has come to show tell-tale lines of age
          B                A
Mark of a reckless type of living
E      B              G#m          F#m               E
I wrap myself in warm contempt for nostalgic passing fancies
      B             A                                    C#m
Never had a peak to recall, don't believe in "glory days"

Chorus

         B          F#m E A     E
The only thing that never breaks
         B                   A    E
Constant passing, thundering rails
         B                   A    F#m
Constant passing, thundering rails
                    A                      E
Logan County had me screaming bloody murder
                  B                   A    E
With the constant sound of thundering rails
         B                   A
Constant sound of thundering rails
