[Intro]
Am  Em  Am  Em  Am
 
[Verse 1]
 
We rode the plains as lovers do
   Em                       Am
We raced beneath the summer sun
 
My dusky eyes met his so blue
    Em                          Am
Our soaring spirits breathed as one
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
We blazed our love across the sky
   Em                      Am
Surrendered to its ancient force
 
Until the day he said goodbye
    Em                      Am
And climbed aboard the Iron horse 
 
 
[Chorus]
                                G
I heard its challenge, loud and shrill
                Em             Am
As we chased it up the Great Divide
                                     G
But though my steed had the stronger will
         Em    N.C.           Am
The iron horse had the longer stride
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am   Em Am   Em Am   Em Am   G Am   G   Em   Am   Em   Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Its whistle cut me like a blade
  Em                           Am
I loathed its screaming, smoky cry
 
How could he leave his Indian maid?
     Em                         Am
I’ll ride like wind and ask him why
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Astride my fearless painted dun
  Em                       Am
I chose my pace and set my course 
 
To catch this demon on the run
   Em                       Am
My steed against this iron horse
 
 
[Chorus]
                                G
I heard its challenge, loud and shrill
                Em             Am
As we chased it up the Great Divide
                                     G
But though my steed had the stronger will
         Em    N.C.           Am
The iron horse had the longer stride
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am   Em Am   Em Am   Em Am   G Am   G   Em   Am   Em   Am
 
 
[Chorus]
                                 G
It roared its challenge loud and shrill
               Em             Am
As it laboured up the Great Divide
                          G
Though I had the stronger will  
         Em    N.C.           Am
The iron horse had the longer stride
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
Through the thunder of its blare
  Em                    Am
I yelled my fury at the beast
 
Wasted words lost in the air
      Em                     Am
As it roared its way forever east
 
And the iron horse’s speed increased
