Intro: C   Am   F   C 

 
C                Am 
I used to dream when I was young 
F                      C 
Of a man who traveled around 
Am                 Em 
Rolling over the vast terrain 
F                       C 
By the drum of a steam engine sound 
 

 
F 
I dreamed 
                  C 
Of good lands and bad lands 
G                          F      Am 
Places with mountains and snow, rivers rushing through 
G                         C 
The canyon to valleys below

Taking a country-wide tour

I got a ticket on a silver train 
C 
Leaving at a quarter to four 
F 
I go alone through the unknown 
F 
I might have flown, but I wanted 
F              C 
To see even more 
Am                       G 
Till it comes, Ill be waiting 
                C 
By the station door 
 

 
Am                 Em 
When I had grown, I realized 
F                      C 
I was the man in the dream 
Am                       Em 
It came upon me like a winter storm 
F                           C 
I saw what my dreams were saying 
 

 
F                         C 
Three thousand miles as the crow flies 
G                     F 
All places in between 
Am                G              C 
Had to see everything I hadnt seen

Am                 Em 
Just half an hour and Ill be on my way 
F                      C 
To follow the course of my dreams 
Am               Em 
Gonna find out all for myself 
F                           C 
That things can be just as they seem 
F                     C 
As I roam across the country 
Em                   F 
Ill always keep in mind 
Am 
Natural beauty 
G                              C 
Is the best beauty Ill ever find
