She used to be an iron horse twenty years ago
And so on
Lyrics
She used to be an iron horse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Nineteen tons of thunder
Riding up the sky
E F G
She was the Princess of the night
You saw the writing on the wall
She was the Princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
Speed as much as lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the footplate
Shining in the night
Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It’s all I ever wanna hear
It’s music to my ears
She was the….
[Solo]
She was the….
Nineteen tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming right out pistons

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SAXON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
