Steel Rails Tab par Alison Krauss

[Intro]

G  Am  C  D  C  G

 

[Chorus]

G                   Am

Steel rails chasing sunshine round the bend

C                   D            C             G

Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind

                          Am

I don't mind, not knowing what lies down the track

          C           D                C                 G

Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back

 

[Verse]

                                 Am

It's not the first time, I found myself alone at dawn

C                   D             C                 G

If I really had you once, then Id have you when I'm gone

                         Am

Whistle blowing, blowing lonesome in my mind

C          D                C            G

Calling me along that never ending metal line

 

[Chorus]

G                   Am

Steel rails chasing sunshine round the bend

C                   D            C             G

Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind

                          Am

I don't mind, not knowing what lies down the track

          C           D                C                 G

Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back

 

[Instrumental]

G  Am  C  D  C  G (x2)

 

[Verse]

                           Am

Sun is shining through the open box car door

C          D           C                G

Calling me away to the things Ive known before

                       Am

I've lost count of the hours days and times

         C             D               C            G

Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind

 

[Chorus]

G                   Am

Steel rails chasing sunshine round the bend

C                   D            C             G

Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind

                          Am

I don't mind, not knowing what lies down the track

          C           D                C                 G

Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back

          C           D                        C                 G

Cause I'm looking out ahead........ to keep my mind from turning back
