Dead Man's Handle
G
Keep your weight on the Dead Man's Handle
Em
Or the wheels won't hold the rail
G
Keep your weight on the Dead Man's Handle
Em
Or the steam brake's bound to fail
C D
Woah she'll jump boys and she'll slip
Bm6 C
If your hand should lose it's grip
G C
On the Dead Man's Handle
G C
The Dead Man's Handle
G D C D G
The Dead Man's Handle keep your mind on the journey's end

Remember all of your skills and learning,

Gonna need them now

Remember all of your words of warning,

Gonna need them now

There's just one bridge left to cross

Keep her moving or the day is lost

The Dead Man's Handle...
Bsus4
Look down, look down, look down
G
The valley is burning, fire without end
Bsus4
Look down, look down, look down
A D
And you'll never get back on the tracks again

Keep your weight on the Dead Man's Handle

Till you see that the day is won

Too many's the foolish man who's fallen

'Cause he jumped the gun

See ahead, your brother stands

Ease the brake, stretch out your hand

The Dead Man's Handle...

Verse 1
