Thread Name: Lyr Req: Fireball Mail
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: FIREBALL MAIL (from Roy Acuff)
Cowpie had the following, with two chord versions:
FIREBALL MAIL Recorded by Roy Acuff Written by Floyd Jenkins (aka Fred Rose)
CHORUS [G] Here she comes - [Em] look at her [G] roll There she goes - [Em] eatin' that [D] coal Watch her [C] fly - huggin the [G] rail Let her [Em] by, [G] by, [D] by, the Fireball [G] Mail.
Let her go - look at her steam Hear her blow - whistle and scream Like a hound - waggin' his tail Dallas bound, bound, bound the Fireball Mail.
Engineer - makin' up time Tracks are clear - look at her climb See that freight - clearin' the rail Bet she's late, late, late, the Fireball Mail.
Watch her swerve - look at her sway Get that curve - out of the way Watch her fly - look at her sail Let her by, by, by, the Fireball Mail.
CHORUS
(or standard chords)
[G] Here she comes, look at her roll There she goes, eatin' that [A7] coal Watch her [G] fly, look at her sail let 'er by, by, by, it's the [A7] Fireball [G] Mail.
