Intro: G  C  G   C  G 


At twelve he met his true love 
       C                   G 
On the banks of the Zuider Zee 

There was smoke upon the water 
C             G 
Diesel on the breeze 
D 
Down the iron gangway 

Down into the noise 
G 
Down beside his destiny 
  C                  G 
Beside his pride and joy 


       C        G 
And he keeps us rolling 
         D       G 
Keeps us rolling on 
        C       G 
And the engines singing 
      D     Em 
Their siren song 
       C        G 
And he keeps us rolling 
         D       G 
Keeps us rolling on 
C                G 
Listens to those engines sing 
      D     Em   C  G  D  G 
Their siren song 



Years upon the ocean 
 C                 G 
Upon the lakes and seas 

Down below the water line 
    C                 G 
Was where he chose to be 
   D 
He listened hard to what they said 

Their thunder up and down 
       G 
And he heard their finest whisper 
       C                G 
And he understood their sound 


       C        G 
And he keeps us rolling 
         D       G 
Keeps us rolling on 
    C       G 
The engines singing 
      D     Em 
Their siren song 
       C        G 
And he keeps us rolling 
         D       G 
Keeps us rolling on 
       C                G 
And he listens to those engines sing 
      D     Em   C  G  D  G 
Their siren song
