Well the Illinois Central
and the Southern Central Freight
gotta keep on pushin' mama
'cause you know they're running late
Without love
where would you be now
Without love

Verse 2 (hold final D7 D7 chord)
Where the pistons keep on charmin'
and the wheels go round' and round'
And the steel rails are cold and hard
for the miles they go around
Without love
where would you be right now
Without love
where would you be now?

Vocals ad lib over intro chords

Got to get it baby wont you move it down?
Won't you move it down?
Baby baby baby baby wont you move it down?
When the big train run
and the train is movin' on
I got to keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Gonna keep on movin'

Really great song! Not many people do the Doobies on the uke but this is really nice. It'd be even better if you get the little lick in there. But great work!

The tab would be easier to read if you put the chords over every word. just a suggestion.
