Chords

[Intro] | D Em7 | Cadd9 | | D Em7 | Cadd9 | | D Em7 | Cadd9 | [Verse 1]
      G                   C
In my cowboy boots and my Levi's

Em                   C
Hair hanging down my back

G               C
Drivin' that 53 Chevy

Em                         C
Rolling down that mountain track

G                           C
Threw a couple back at the Stanley

Em                        C
Drinking with a long lost friend

G                 C
Back in the car, spinnin' my wheels

Em                        C
Cutting through the dusty wind
[Chorus]
  D             Em7    Cadd9
I didn't see it comin' hell on wheels

D          Em7   Cadd9
Carryin' a heavy load

D             Em7    Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels

D          D
Nowhere to go
[Verse 2]
    G                         C
The gravel and the grit of my past

Em                        C
Trailing in the rear-view mirror

G                   C
 The only house for twenty miles

Em                       C
I was gettin' nearer and nearer

G                       C
Saw two little children sitting in the dirt

Em                        C
Missed them by a mere few feet

      G                     C
Their arms reaching out for daddy

     Em                           C
That nightmare still plays in my sleep
[Chorus]
  D             Em7    Cadd9
I didn't see it comin' hell on wheels

D          Em7   Cadd9
Carryin' a heavy load

D             Em7    Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels

D          D
Nowhere to go
[Bridge]
Em                       Bm
Out of the house he came yellin'

    C                   G
I'm calling the cops on you

Em                       Bm
Wavin' his fists while I gunned that car

C                 Dsus4
Down the road and breakin' through
[Verse 3]
  G                       C
I pray for those children every day

Em                  C
Innocent babes they were

   G                         C
If I was going just a little faster

   Em                       Cadd9
We would have been gone for sure
[Chorus]
    D            Em7    Cadd9
You never see it comin' hell on wheels

    D                   Em7   Cadd9
You always think you're in control

D           Em7            Cadd9
Someday you realize you're hell on wheels

        D                    C
And you know you have to go slow

D             Em7    Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels

D          Em7   Cadd9
Carryin' a heavy load

D             Em7    Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels

D          D
Nowhere to go
[Outro]
G          C
Nowhere to go

Em         C
Nowhere to go

G          G   D  Em7  Cadd9
Nowhere to go
