Capo 4th fret               


D                       A 
Way on past the boulevards 
G             D                       
Out here underneath the stars 
G                         A                 D        G A 
I've been flying past the houses, farms and fields 
D             A 
Leaving all I know back there 
G                   D                     
Rushing through the cold night air 
G                     A               D          G A 
And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel 
D                    A 
Staying clear of the interstate  
G                     D                   
I'm seeking out those old two lanes 
G           A               D      G A 
Trying to explain the way I feel 
D                     A 
Till all at once it's half past three 
         G                  D                      
And it's down...to just the trucks and me 
G                     A               D         G A 
And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel 
A                                    D 
I've been trying to drive you off my mind 
G              A          D              A 
Maybe that way baby I can leave it all behind 
    D              A 
And forty-one goes on and on 
        G                 D                      
And the lights go winding in the dawn 
G                   A               D        G A 
The sky's the color now of polished steel 
        D            A 
And the only thing I know for sure 
   G                    D               
Is if you don't want me anymore 
G                      A               D      G A 
Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

        D            A 
And the only thing I know for sure 
      G                 D               
Is if you don't want me anymore 
G                      A               D       F# G A A (one strum each)  
Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
