Tom: C
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
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]
Dm
It's 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 I'm gone
Dm
Whistle blowing, blowing lonesome in my mind
F G F C
Calling me along that never ending 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
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]
Dm
Sun is shining through the open box car door
F G F C
Calling me away to the things Ive known before
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
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
