Intro: Am  Em  Am  Em  Am 

verse 1 

We rode the plains as lovers do 
   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 

We blazed our love across the sky 
   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 N.C. 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 Astride my fearless painted dun 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 N.C. 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 N.C. Am The iron horse had the longer stride
Verse 5 Through the thunder of its blare 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
