Verse 1
(G4)Big iron horses road a(C9)cross five yards bridge
And (G4)me and my grandpa we (C9)watched from the (D)ridge
He (G4)knew all the (Em)trains, he'd (C9)call out each one
Where they're (Am)goin' too, (C)where they're (D)comin' from
Verse 2
He'd say (G4)that one's from Memphis, (C9)bound for Moline
An (G4)old '97, she's (C9)from New Or(D)leans
From (G4)New York to (Em)Denver, they'd (C9)roll through this town
Now those (Am)days are gone
But I (C)still hear the (D)sound of
(CHORUS)
(C9)Big Iron (D)Horses
(G4)Steel turning round
The (C9)sparks and the (D)thunder
As the (G4)wheels shook the ground
The (C9)boxcars and the (D)flatbeds
And the (Em)whistles blowin' steam
That was (Am)yesterday, now those (C)big trains don't (D)come any(C9)more(G4)
Verse 3
(G4)Now the years passed so quickly
And the (C9)world had moved on
And (G4)change cast her shadow as they (C9)left one by (D)one
When the (G4)last train left (Em)Avon, (C9)no one was there
Guess they (Am)didn't know, (C)guess they (D)didn't care
Verse 4
Now the (G4)station is empty and the (C9)train yard lies still
And (G4)grandpa is gone now to (C9)St. Agnes (D)hill
Now I (G4)stand on the (Em)fire watch and as (C9)I close my eyes
I see a (Am)little boy, and he's (C)waving good(D)bye to the
(CHORUS)
(C9)Big Iron (D)Horses
(G4)Steel turning round
The (C9)sparks and the (D)thunder
As the (G4)wheels shook the ground
The (C9)boxcars and the (D)flatbeds
And the (Em)whistles blowin' steam
That was (Am)long ago, now they live (C)on in my (D)dreams
(C9)Big Iron (D)Horses
(G4)Steel turning round
The (C9)sparks and the (D)thunder
As the (G4)wheels shook the ground
The (C9)boxcars and the (D)flatbeds
And the (Em)whistles blowin' steam
That was (Am)yesterday, now those (C)big trains don't (D)come any(C9)more(G4) (C9)
(C9)(G4)
Any(C9)more(G4)
Iron (C9)Horses(G4)
Big Iron (C9)Horses
and when i close my (G4)eyes
Iron (C9)Horses
i can still see that (G4)little boy
Big Iron (C9)Horses

(FADE)
