[Verse]

      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]

    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                      
Saw two little children 
 C
 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                    
Wavin' his fists while 
  Bm
I gunned that car

C                 Dsus4
Down the road and breakin' through
 
 
[Verse]

  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     
Someday you realize 

      Cadd9
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
