Capo 4

C  Dm  F  G  F  C

                   Dm
Steel rails chasin sunshine round the bend
  F                G            F             C
Windin through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
                        Dm 
I dont mind, not knowin what lies down the track
          F         G                F                C
Cause Im lookin out ahead to keep my mind from turnin back
                                Dm
Its not the first time, I found myself alone at dawn
F                   G             F                C
If I really had you once, then Id have you when Im gone
                       Dm
Whistle blowin, blowin lonesome in my mind
F         G                F           C
Callin me along that never endin metal line
                   Dm
Steel rails chasin sunshine round the bend
F                  G            F             C
Windin through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
                        Dm
I dont mind, not knowin what lies down the track
          F         G                F                C
Cause Im lookin out ahead to keep my mind from turnin back


C  Dm  F  G  F  C (x2)

                           Dm
Sun is shining through the open box car door
F          G             F                C
Lyin in my mind with the things Ive known before
                      Dm
Ive lost count of the hours days and times
         F             G               F            C
Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind
