Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Trouble  coming down the road, watching just as it unfolds
Oh  a’livin’ in the moment there’s a speeder gonna pass me by
Watch  him whipping up and down the bends,
Well  I wish that I could warn him but then every story has an end.
 Staring up at starry space, looking for a distant place
 Got me thinking for a moment there’s no reason that I’m even here
 Well then my mind takes another track,
 All my life’s a locomotive once it’s going you can’t turn it back.
So  tragic, Oh brother,
My  life’s behind me better start another, soon  (soon)
It  came so easy back in Union Square,  Down in Soho, man she lead me there
We  got a ticket off the Golden Gate,  feeling heavy, headed down to Haight
Oh
 Inst (chords in verse)
 Trouble coming down the road, watching just as it unfolds
 There’s a woman I’ve been loving and I pray she doesn’t pass me by
 Just a’wating and a’ killin’ time
 Better brace myself, get ready, cause a crash is coming down the line
