Intro: C Dm F G F C
C Dm
Chorus: Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
F G F C
Winding through trees, like a ribbon in the wind
C Dm
I don’t mind, not knowing what lies down the track
F G
Cause I’m looking out ahead, to keep my mind
F C
from turning back
C Dm
It’s not the first time, I found myself alone at dawn
F G F C
If I really had you once, then I’d have you, when I’m gone
C Dm
Whistle blowing, blowing lonesome, in my mind
F G F C
Calling me along, that never ending, metal line
Chorus
C Dm F G F C | C Dm F G F C
Sun is shinning, through the open box car door
Lying in, my mind, with the things I’ve known before
I’ve lost count of the hours, days, and times
Just the rhythm of the rails, keeps the motion in my mind
Chorus
F G F C
cause I’m looking out ahead ~~, To keep my mind from turning back
