Chords

[Intro] C Dm F G F C [Chorus]
      C             Dm
Steel rails chasing sunshine round the bend

F                   G            F             C
Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind

        C                 Dm
I don't mind, not knowing what lies down the track

          F            G               F                 C
Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
[Verse 1]
             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 neverending metal line
[Chorus]
      C             Dm
Steel rails chasing sunshine round the bend

F                   G            F             C
Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind

        C                 Dm
I don't mind, not knowing what lies down the track

          F            G               F                 C
Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
[Instrumental] C Dm F G F C x2 [Verse 2]
       C                   Dm
Sun is shining through the open box car door

F         G             F                   C
Lining my mind with the things I've known before

          C            Dm
I've lost count of the hours, days and times

         F             G               F            C
Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind
[Chorus]
      C             Dm
Steel rails chasing sunshine round the bend

F                   G            F             C
Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind

        C                 Dm
I don't mind, not knowing what lies down the track

          F            G               F                 C
Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back

          F            G                       F                 C
Cause I'm looking out ahead........ to keep my mind from turning back
