Intro
A D A E7 
 
Verse 1
 A 
I was one more prairie son 
 D 
back in nineteen fifty some 
 A 
That wind was cold where I come from 
 E7 
I shivered in the station 
  A                                 D 
Leavin on that west bound train I didn't even know your name 
 A 
I know you miss that west coast rain 
 E7                A 
I still miss the prairies 
 
Verse 2
A 
You came up from that southern town 
 D 
to all those winters that've come and gone 
 A 
I quit most jobs I ever found 
  A                E7 
almost drove you crazy 
  A 
Rocky mountain mystery 
 D 
stretching as far as I could see 
  A 
Why you still belong to me 
  E7                  A 
I sometimes have to wonder 
 
Chorus
 F                           C 
Trains like a steel horse lullaby 
  G                        Am 
carry me across the great divide 
  F                         C B Am 
And dream dreams that never die 
 Am                     F          E7                  A 
Some get lost in the rhythm of a steel horse lullaby 
 D      E 
Ride away 
   D 
Saddle up that rocky mountain highway 
   A                E 
It's a sweet song so dream on 
                   D 
A steel horse lullaby 
 
Verse 3
  A 
Sometimes trains they don't come back 
 D 
 
That's why it's called a one way track 
   A 
You know a cowboy singer or a lumber jack 
  E 
can somehow make a livin 
 A 
There's a train comin around the bend 
 D 
driven by that prairie wind 
 A 
That's just me fallin in love again 
  E             A 
meet me in the station 
 
Chorus
 F                           C 
Trains like a steel horse lullaby 
  G                        Am 
carry me across the great divide 
  F                         C B Am 
And dream dreams that never die 
 Am                     F          E7                  A 
Some get lost in the rhythm of a steel horse lullaby 
 D      E 
Ride away 
   D 
Saddle up that rocky mountain highway 
   A                E 
It's a sweet song so dream on 
                   D 
A steel horse lullaby
