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)
