[Verse 1]
G C
In my cowboy boots and my Levi's
Em C
Hair hanging down my back
G C
Drivin' that 53 Chevy
Em C
Rolling down that mountain track
G C
Threw a couple back at the Stanley
Em C
Drinking with a long lost friend
G C
Back in the car, spinnin' my wheels
Em C
Cutting through the dusty wind
[Chorus]
D Em7 Cadd9
I didn't see it comin' hell on wheels
D Em7 Cadd9
Carryin' a heavy load
D Em7 Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels
D D
Nowhere to go
[Verse 2]
G C
The gravel and the grit of my past
Em C
Trailing in the rear-view mirror
G C
The only house for twenty miles
Em C
I was gettin' nearer and nearer
G C
Saw two little children sitting in the dirt
Em C
Missed them by a mere few feet
G C
Their arms reaching out for daddy
Em C
That nightmare still plays in my sleep
[Chorus]
D Em7 Cadd9
I didn't see it comin' hell on wheels
D Em7 Cadd9
Carryin' a heavy load
D Em7 Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels
D D
Nowhere to go
[Bridge]
Em Bm
Out of the house he came yellin'
C G
I'm calling the cops on you
Em Bm
Wavin' his fists while I gunned that car
C Dsus4
Down the road and breakin' through
[Verse 3]
G C
I pray for those children every day
Em C
Innocent babes they were
G C
If I was going just a little faster
Em Cadd9
We would have been gone for sure
[Chorus]
D Em7 Cadd9
You never see it comin' hell on wheels
D Em7 Cadd9
You always think you're in control
D Em7 Cadd9
Someday you realize you're hell on wheels
D C
And you know you have to go slow
D Em7 Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels
D Em7 Cadd9
Carryin' a heavy load
D Em7 Cadd9
Didn't see it comin' hell on wheels
D D
Nowhere to go
[Outro]
G C
Nowhere to go
Em C
Nowhere to go
G G D Em7 Cadd9
Nowhere to go
