Key: C
Introduction:
C Dm
Chorus Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
F G F C
Winding through 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
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 never ending, metal line
chorus
C Dm F G F C Dm F G F C
Sun is shinning, through the open box car door
Lying in, my mind, with the things I've known before
F G F C
cause I'm looking out ahead ~~, To keep my mind from turning back
