Iron horse

       Am Dm 
       Through the plains and valleys 
       E7 Am 
       Across the Great Devide 
       Dm 
       White man brought his thunder 
       E7 Am 
       From the other side C Dm 
       * From its smoking wing of steel 
       E7 Am 
       Breatin' fire upon flaming wheels 
       C Dm 
       Reachin' out for a new frontier 
       F E 
       Making sure the way was clear

                                        Dm C 
                                        ** Iron horse, iron horse 
                                        Dm G C E 
                                        Keep on burning on its course 
                                        Dm C 
                                        Iron horse, iron horse 
                                        Dm E7 Am Dm E7 Am F E 
                                        Burning on and on, keep on burning on

                                        Am Dm 
                                        Over sand and water 
                                        E7 Am 
                                        Across the canyon too 
                                        Dm 
                                        Through the crimson sunset 
                                        E7 Am 
                                        Its mighty whistle blew 
                                        (repeat * and ** twice)
