Introdução: Am Em Am Em Am
Em Am
We raced beneath the summer sun
My dusky eyes met his so blue
Em Am
Our soaring spirits breathed as one
verse 2
Em Am
Surrendered to its ancient force
Until the day he said goodbye
Em Am
And climbed aboard the Iron horse
G
I heard its challenge, loud and shrill
Em Am
As we chased it up the Great Divide
G
But though my steed had the stronger will
Em Am
The iron horse had the longer stride
Instrumental
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am G Am G Em Am Em Am
verse 3
Its whistle cut me like a blade
Em Am
I loathed its screaming, smoky cry
How could he leave his Indian maid?
Em Am
I?ll ride like wind and ask him why
verse 4
Em Am
I chose my pace and set my course
To catch this demon on the run
Em Am
My steed against this iron horse
G
I heard its challenge, loud and shrill
Em Am
As we chased it up the Great Divide
G
But though my steed had the stronger will
Em Am
The iron horse had the longer stride
Instrumental
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am G Am G Em Am Em Am
G
It roared its challenge loud and shrill
Em Am
As it laboured up the Great Divide
G
Though I had the stronger will
Em Am
The iron horse had the longer stride
Verse 5
Em Am
I yelled my fury at the beast
Wasted words lost in the air
Em Am
As it roared its way forever east
And the iron horse?s speed increased
