Intro FF C majorC D MajorD

Verse 1

G+G
In the eyes of the old ones
  C majorC        D MajorD
Who watched from a distance
    G+G    G7G7    C majorC  D MajorD
It was devilish magic at best
    G+G       G7G7
But the hearts of the children
   C majorC      D MajorD
Were filled with excitement
    C majorC        D MajorD      G+G
As they dreamed of their home in the West

Verse 2

    C majorC           G+G
Oh the engine would fire the black smoke would rise
              G7G7   D MajorD
Thru the spray of the slick silver steam
    C majorC            G+G
It was something of wonder that steel plated thunder
   D MajorD    G+G    B minorBm
That moved the American dream
   D MajorD     C majorC    A augmentedA
That moved the American dream

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

Verse 3

        A augmentedA
I can hear the sleepy whistle blowin'
       D MajorD
I can see the sparks beneath the wheels
    A augmentedA
As she leaves the hills behind her
    D MajorD
For the ragged cotton fields
 A augmentedA          B7B7
In a dusty one-horse station
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
All the children grow impatient
             B7B7      D MajorD
And they stare into the distance for a sign

Chorus 1

N/C   E MajorE   D MajorD         G+G    A augmentedA
Here she comes can't you hear the whistle whine
     E MajorE      G+G     D MajorD    A augmentedA
Here she comes she's rollin' in right on time
      E MajorE       D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm
Well I can feel her she's runnin' in my Blood Line
   D MajorD          A augmentedA
she's Running' in my bloodline

Banjo riff in A augmentedA

Verse 4

A augmentedA
Overman Grady waves his lantern
    D MajorD
"All on board" I hear him cry
    A augmentedA
 While Lucius stokes the cinder Lord
       D MajorD
and wipes the coal dirt from his eyes
      A augmentedA         B7B7
Yes she was proud and full of fire
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
As she rode that silver wire
               B7B7      D MajorD
From the Kansas Plains to the great Sierra Pine

Chorus 2

N/C   E MajorE   G+G         D MajorD    A augmentedA
Here she comes can't you hear the whistle whine
     E MajorE      G+G     D MajorD    A augmentedA
Here she comes she's rollin' in right on time
   E MajorE       D MajorD      A augmentedA    B minorBm
I can feel her she's runnin' in my blood line
   D MajorD         A augmentedA
yeah running in my bloodline

Riff A augmentedA D MajorD B7B7 D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G

     Yeah
Verse 5

G+G            G7G7
Now the stockyards are empty
C majorC          D MajorD
The steel rails are rusted
   G+G             C majorC  D MajorD
They belong to the wind and the sand
    G+G
But we long will remember
  C majorC       D MajorD
the steel and the timber
    C majorC               G+G
And the pulse that once beat thru this land

Outro

    C majorC           G+G
Oh the engine would fire the black smoke would rise
              G7G7   D MajorD
Thru the spray of the slick silver steam
    C majorC            G+G
It was something of wonder that steel plated thunder
   D MajorD     G+G    B minorBm  Bm7Bm7
That moved the American dream
 D MajorD    C majorC    G+G   C majorC
moved the American dream
       G+G  C majorC
The American dream
G+G   C majorC    B minorBm Bm7Bm7 G+G
