Intro: G 


Kelli drove us down the lake 
     C 
On a bright Ohio day 
       G 
And we looked across the railway yards 
                       D 
At the hoppers painted grey 
     G 
That coal train from Kentucky, man  
      C 
She's come a long, long way 
             G 
Down in Ashtabula 
     D              G    G6  G 
On a sunny summer's day 



Walked down to the harbour 
     C 
Down to the harbour side 
          G 
Where the coal was piled up waiting 
                   D 
High and black and wide 
         G 
And it's waiting for a laker, man 
   C 
To carry it away 
             G 
Down in Ashtabula 
     D              G    G6  G 
On a sunny summer's day
