(Intro: G C G D G C G D)

Sometimes I Consider My Pace
D G C
I'm Reminded Of A Train Gathering Speed

For The Climb To The Pass
G C
In Whose Shadow It All Really Lies
G D G
A Small Metal Wagon Approaching
C G D
The Ever Present Ascending Rise
G C G D
To The Southern Mountains
G C G
Reeling And Snaking And Leaping
D G C
It Seems Like It Wants To Come Loose
G D
>From Its Path Cast In Iron
G C
But She Can't Slow Down Now
G D
As The Earth Has Presented
G C
A New Crest To Reach
G D
Without Barely A Rest
G C G D
>From The Last One

And You Wonder Just What Lies Beyond

Though You've Been There Before

And Forget About The Effort And The Strain

Always Ascending

Each Yard Adds A Mile

To The Never-ending Pull

Of The Steepening Grade
G C G D G C G D
That's Before You
G C G D
A Valley, A Forest, A Desert, A Stream
G C
With An Oversized Bridge
G D
For The Trickle There Beneath
G C
You Remember The Torrent
G D
It Turned To Last Spring
G C
>From The Snows Melting Fast
G D
And The River It Became
G C G D
In The Summer
G C
Perhaps It Is Ruined
G D
>From A Fire That Has Scorched It
G C
So Badly That Nothing
G D
Will Grow Without Rain
G C
To Wash Away The Blackened Soil
G D G
Now Useless Till Called Upon Again
C G D
In A Future As Twisted And Far Away
G C G D
As The Next Range Of Mountains
G C G
So Take It As Far As You See
D
And Beyond
G C
With Eyes You Don't Use Enough
G D
Gather Up Strength
G C
As Thoroughfare Gap
G D
Will Await You Forever

You're Seeking To Get There

For Even Before

It's No Matter

No Distance

It's The Ride

G C G D G C G D
G C G
Sometimes I consider my pace,
D G C
I'm reminded of a train gathering speed,
G D
for the climb to the pass
G C G
In whose shadow it all really lies,
D G C
a small metal wagon approaching,
G D
the ever present ascending rise;
G C G D
to the southern mountains
G C G
Reeling and snaking and leaping,
D G C
it seems like it wants to come loose,
G D
from its path cast in iron
G C G
But she can't slow down now,
D G C
as the earth has presented,
G C
a new crest to reach
G D
without barely a rest;
G C G D
from the last one
G C G
And you wonder just what lies beyond,
D G C
though you've been there before,
G D
and forget about the effort and the strain
G C
Always ascending,
G D
each yard adds a mile,
G C
to the never-ending pull,
G D
of the steepening grade;
G C G D G C G D
that's before you
G C G D
A valley, A forest, A desert, A stream,
G C
with an oversized bridge,
G D
for the trickle there beneath
G C
You remember the torrent,
G D
it turned to last spring,
G C
from the snows melting fast
G D
and the river it became;
G C G D
in the summer
G C
Perhaps it is ruined,
G D
from a fire that has scorched it,
G C
so badly that nothing
G D
will grow without rain
G C
To wash away the blackened soil,
G D G
now useless till called upon again,
C G D
in a future as twisted and far away;
G C G D
as the next range of mountains
G C G
So take it as far as you see
D
and beyond,
G C
with eyes you don't use enough,
G D
gather up strength
G C
As Thoroughfare Gap,
G D
will await you forever,
G C
you're seeking to get there
G D
for even before;
C
it's no matter;
D
no distance;
G C G Gsus4 G
it's the ride
