[Verse 1]
G                    C          D         G
Two streaks of steel stretchin' cross the land
G                 C      D      G
 Too far to reach for my baby's hand
C           D           G
I stood and watched her disappear
C           D                G      G      G
 And in the distance I could hear   whoo

[Verse 2]
G                 C      D        G
Tomorrow I'll see comin down the track
 G                        C        D      G
That same old train that she ain't coming back
C             D                   G
For her sweet love that once was mine
C           D                G                C
 Faded just like the whistle's whine...... whoo

[Chorus]
C                              Am
Two streaks of steel I've been standing beside
C                         Am
Were all that mattered in my life just died
G                          C
I want to lay across those tracks when that train
G                         C     D     G        A
Crosses those two streaks steel once again

[Verse 3]
A                    D       E    A
Two streaks of steel took my love away
A                 D     E     A
No reason now for me to wanna stay
D              E                 A
Next time I   hear that whistle moan
D             E               A
 Then all my troubles will be gone whoo.... whoo...
