Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
These  are the words, That cry  out of me in the  night
Like  a buffalo herd, From a shotgun  blast scattered in  flight
 I got a one  track mind, Going down a one  train line
 Living on dreams  half the time, Going West
 I gotta pick  up speed, Just to get  what I need
 The end of the line  guaranteed, Your love is my rest
The  coal catches fire, I'm down  the wire in a  flash
That  big old smoke stack, Is  belching out black smoke and  ash
 So  sad to think of, Hurting the one  you love
 But surely that's  what leaving does, You'd  know best
I  gotta pick up speed, Just to get  what I need
 The end of the line  guaranteed, Your love is my  rest, Your  love is my  rest
We  pass through the land Of Custer's  last stand And I  grin
So  this is where old  Yellow Hair's Ghost dance begins
 I got  the blood on my hands, Can't even live  where I stand
 I'm just a traveling  man, Cursed or blessed
I  gotta pick up speed, Just to get  what I need
 The end of the line  guaranteed, Your love is my rest
Your  love is my rest,  Your  love is my rest
