CWay on past the Gboulevard Fout here underCneath the stars
I've been Fflying past the Ghouses, farms and CfieldsG  
CLeaving all I kGnow back home, Frushing through the Ccold night air
And I'm hFolding on to Gnothing but the wCheelG  
CStaying clear of the Ginterstate I'm Fseeking out those Cold two lanes
FTrying to expGlain the way I fCeelG  
Till Call at once it's hGalf past three and it's Fdown to the Ctrucks and me
And I'm Fholding on to Gnothing but the wCheelC  
GI've been trying to drive you, oooh Coff my mind
AmLately that way Fmaybe I can lCeave it all beGhindG  
And C41 goes Gon and on and the lFights go winding Cin the dawn
And the Fsky's the color Gnow of polished sCteel    G  
And the Conly thing I kGnow for sure is Fyou don't want me aCnymore 
And I'm Fholding on to Gnothing but the Cwheel  all-right Gcome on
C  G F C
F  G   C  G
C  G F C
F  G   C  C
GI've been trying to drive you, ohh off my Cmind
AmLately that way mFaybe I can Cleave it all behGind  G  
And the Conly thing I kGnow for sure is Fyou don't want me Canymore
And I'm Fholding onto Gnothing but the CwheelC  
And I'm Fholding onto Gnothing but the CwheelC  
CAnd 41 drags on Gand on and tFhe lights go windinCg in the dawn
FAnd I'm holdiGng on in the Ccold night air, I'm hoGldin' on, holdin' on
COnly thing I knGow for sure is yFou don't want me anCymore
FAnd I'm holding on Gto nothing but Cthe wheelC  
    Cgettin' Gdown ol' 4F1C

[Intro]

C G F C

Way on past the boulevard out here underneath the stars

F G C G

I've been flying past the houses, farms and fields

C G F C

Leaving all I know back home, rushing through the cold night air

F G C G

And I'm holding on to nothing but the wheel

C G F C

Staying clear of the interstate I'm seeking out those old two lanes

F G C G

Trying to explain the way I feel

C G F C

Till all at once it's half past three and it's down to the trucks and me

F G C C

And I'm holding on to nothing but the wheel

G C

I've been trying to drive you, oooh off my mind

Am F C G G

Lately that way maybe I can leave it all behind

C G F C

And 41 goes on and on and the lights go winding in the dawn

F G C G

And the sky's the color now of polished steel

C G F C

And the only thing I know for sure is you don't want me anymore

F G C G

And I'm holding on to nothing but the wheel all-right come on

C G F C

And the only thing I know for sure is you don't want me anymore

F G C C

And I'm holding onto nothing but the wheel

F G C C

And I'm holding onto nothing but the wheel

C G F C

And 41 drags on and on and the lights go winding in the dawn

F G C G

And I'm holding on in the cold night air, I'm holdin' on, holdin' on

C G F C

Only thing I know for sure is you don't want me anymore

F G C C

And I'm holding on to nothing but the wheel

C G F C

gettin' down ol' 41
