Tom: F#

Capo 4th fret               


D              A
Way on past the boulevards 
G        D
Out here underneath the stars 
G                 A           D      G A
I've been flying past the houses, farms and fields 
D        A
Leaving all I know back there 
G            D
Rushing through the cold night air 
G              A          D        G A
And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel 
D             A
Staying clear of the interstate  
G              D
I'm seeking out those old two lanes 
G        A          D    G   A
Trying to explain the way I feel 
D                 A
Till all at once it's half past three 
      G             D
And it's down...to just the trucks and me 
G              A          D       G A
And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel 
A                         D
I've been trying to drive you off my mind 
G        A      D          A
Maybe that way baby I can leave it all behind 
  D         A
And forty-one goes on and on 
     G            D
And the lights go winding in the dawn 
G             A         D       G A
The sky's the color now of polished steel 
     D        A
And the only thing I know for sure 
  G               D
Is if you don't want me anymore 
G              A          D     G  A
Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
