Hell On Wheels
Judy Collins
[Intro] | D Em7 | Cadd9 | | D Em7 | Cadd9 | | D Em7 | Cadd9 | [Verse 1] In my cowboy boots and my Levi’s Hair hanging down my back Drivin’ that 53 Chevy Rolling down that mountain track Threw a couple back at the Stanley Drinking with a long lost friend Back in the car spinnin’ my wheels 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 Nowhere to go [Verse 2] The gravel and the grit of my past Trailing in the rear-view mirror The only house for twenty miles I was gettin’ nearer and nearer Saw two little children sitting in the dirt Missed them by a mere few feet Their arms reaching out for daddy 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 Nowhere to go [Bridge] Out of the house he came yellin’ I’m calling the cops on you Wavin’ his fists while I gunned that car C Dsus4 Down the road and breakin’ through [Verse 3] I pray for those children every day Innocent babes they were 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 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 Nowhere to go [Outro] Nowhere to go Nowhere to go Nowhere to go
