DThese are the words, That Bmcry out of me in the F#mnight  
DLike a buffalo herd, From a Bmshotgun blast scattered in F#mflight
I got a Gone track mind, Going down a Done train line
Living on Adreams half the time, Going DWest
I gotta Gpick up speed, Just to Dget what I need
The end of the Aline guaranteed, Your love is my rDest
DThe coal catches fire, I'm Bmdown the wire in a F#mflash
DThat big old smoke stack, Is Bmbelching out black smoke and F#mash
SGo sad to think of, Hurting the Done you love
But surely thatA's what leaving does, YoDu'd know best
GI gotta pick up speed, Just to Dget what I need
The end of the Aline guaranteed, Your love is my Drest, YoAur love is my Drest
DWe pass through the land Of BmCuster's last stand  And I F#mgrin
DSo this is where old BmYellow Hair's Ghost dance F#mbegins
I goGt the blood on my hands, Can't even Dlive where I stand
I'm just a Atraveling man, Cursed or Dblessed
GI gotta pick up speed, Just to Dget what I need
The end of the lAine guaranteed, Your love is my Drest
AYour love is my Drest, YoAur love is my Drest
