[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A
I heard the first taste costs you a dime
A
They never mention how the prices climb
D
Mama, can you pick me up
A
In your steam-powered hearse?
C
I'm on South High and Main
D A
Catching a train they call "Painkiller"
[Verse 2]
A
I hear the whistle and it's making me sweat
A
It's getting closer, but it ain't here yet
D A
Climbing that smoke stack is gonna burn my brain
C
Lord, I'm holding on tight
D A
Try to get through the night, I'm on Painkiller
[Chorus]
C# D A
Painkiller, mama, won't you ease my mind?
C# D A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line
[Verse 3]
A
The engineer, he likes to roll the bones
A
Hop on the mainline if you wanna get gone
D
Hammer that big spike
A
Gonna be the death of me (Woo)
C D A
See, I'm fresh out of coal, just a lost soul running on Painkiller
[Chorus]
C# D A
Painkiller, mama, would you ease my mind?
C# D A E A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line (Ha ha!)

[Verse 4]
A
Looks like the devil set the wheels a flying
A
From West Virginia to the Tennessee line
D A
Here comes the tunnel, I can't feel a thing
C D
I'm running out of time to the end of the line
C D
Burning my brain until the very last grain
C D G A
Driving insane on this runaway train they call "Painkiller"
[Chorus]
C# D A E A
Painkiller, mama, would you ease my mind?
C# D A E A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line
C# D A
I'm down a painkiller, mama, would you ease my mind?
C# D A E A
Painkiller, rolling down the dead end line
