Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][C][D][Em][C][D][C]

[Verse 1]
In [G]my
cowboy boots and my [C]Levi's
[Em]Hair hanging down my [C]back
[G]Drivin' that [C]'53 Chevy
[Em]Rolling down that [C]mountain track

[Verse 2]
[G]Threw a couple back at the Stan[C]ley
[Em]Drinking with a long [C]lost friend
[G]Back in the car, spin[C]nin' my wheels
[Em]Cutting through that dusty [C]wind

[Verse 3]
I [D]didn't see [Em]it comin'
[C]Hell on wheels
[D]Carryin' a [Em]heavy [C]load
[D]Didn't see it [Em]comin'
[C]Hell on wheels
[D]Nowhere to go

[Verse 4]
[G]The gravel and the grit of my [C]past
[Em]Trailing in the rearview mir[C]ror[D]
[G]The only house for twe[C]nty mil[Em]es
I was gettin' nearer and near[C]er

[Verse 5]
Saw [G]two little children sitting in [C]the dirt
[Em]Missed them by a mere few [C]feet
Their [G]arms reaching out
for [C]daddy
[Em]That nightmare still plays in my [C]sleep

[Verse 6]
I [D]didn't see it [Em]comin'
[C]Hell on wheels
[D]Carryin' a [Em]heavy [C]load
I [D]didn't see it [Em]comin'
[C]Hell on wheels
[D]Nowhere to go

[Verse 7]
[Em]Out of the house, he come [Bm]yellin'
"I'm [C]calling the cops on [G]you"
[Em]Wavin' his fists while I [Bm]gunned that car
[C]Down the road and [D]breakin'
[Dsus4]through[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]I pray for those children every day
[Em]Innocent babes [C]they were
If [G]I was going just a little faster
We [Em]would have been gone for [C]sure

[Verse 9]
You [D]never see it com[Em]in'
[C]Hell on wheels
You [D]al ways think you're
[Em]in contr[C]ol
[D]Someday you [G]realize
You're [C]hell on wheels
You [D]know you have to [Em]go sl[C]ow
[D]You

[Verse 10]
didn't see it [Em]comin'
[C]Hell on wheels
[D]Carryin' a [Em]heavy [C]load
[D]Didn't see it [Bm]comin'
[C]Hell on wheels
[D]Nowhere to go

[Verse 11]
[G]Nowhere to [C]go
[Em]Nowhere to [C]go
[G]Nowhere to go
[C][G][Em][C]
