INTRO:{ E } -{ C#m } - G#m - B 

      E -{ C#m } - G#m - B 
 
E                        C#m                        G#m B
These are the words that cry out of me in the night
E                          C#m                               G#m G# 
Like a buffalo herd from a shotgun blast scattered in flight 
A
I got a one track mind  
             E
Going down a one train line  
          B
Living on dreams half the time  
      E    E7
Going west 
A
I gotta pick up speed  
            E
Just to get what I need  
               B
The end of the line guaranteed  
                E    B
Your love is my rest   
E                             C#m                      G#m B
The coal catches fire and I'm down the wire in a flash
E                          C#m                             G#m G# 
That big old smokestack is belching out black smoke and ash 
A
So sad to think of  
            E
Hurting the one you love  
                  B
But surely that's what leaving does  
               E    E7
You would know best  
A
I gotta pick up speed  
            E
Just to get what I need  
               B
The end of the line guaranteed  
                E
Your love is my rest   
B               E
Your love is my rest

E                     C#m                             G#m B 
I stand in the land of Custer's last stand and I grin
E                    C#m                              G#m G# 
So this is where old yellow-hair's ghost-dance begins 
A
I got the blood on my hands  
           E
Can't even live where I stand  
           B
I'm just a travelling man  
          E       E7
Cursed or blessed 
A
I gotta pick up speed  
            E
Just to get what I need  
               B
The end of the line guaranteed  
                E    B
Your love is my rest

I gotta pick up speed

Just to get what I need

The end of the line guaranteed  
                E    B
Your love is my rest

Your love is my rest
