INTRO:{ E5 } -{ C#5 } - G#5 - B5 

      E5 -{ C#5 } - G#5 - B5 
 
E5                        C#5                        G#5 B5
These are the words that cry out of me in the night
E5                          C#5                               G#5 G#5 
Like a buffalo herd from a shotgun blast scattered in flight 
A5
I got a one track mind  
             E5
Going down a one train line  
          B5
Living on dreams half the time  
      E5    E5
Going west 
A5
I gotta pick up speed  
            E5
Just to get what I need  
               B5
The end of the line guaranteed  
                E5    B5
Your love is my rest   
E5                             C#5                      G#5 B5
The coal catches fire and I'm down the wire in a flash
E5                          C#5                             G#5 G#5 
That big old smokestack is belching out black smoke and ash 
A5
So sad to think of  
            E5
Hurting the one you love  
                  B5
But surely that's what leaving does  
               E5    E5
You would know best  
A5
I gotta pick up speed  
            E5
Just to get what I need  
               B5
The end of the line guaranteed  
                E5
Your love is my rest   
B5               E5
Your love is my rest

E5                     C#5                             G#5 B5 
I stand in the land of Custer's last stand and I grin
E5                    C#5                              G#5 G#5 
So this is where old yellow-hair's ghost-dance begins 
A5
I got the blood on my hands  
           E5
Can't even live where I stand  
           B5
I'm just a travelling man  
          E5       E5
Cursed or blessed 
A5
I gotta pick up speed  
            E5
Just to get what I need  
               B5
The end of the line guaranteed

Your love is my rest
