Fare thee well old friends
          D
Fare thee well we go
Em                  C
Burning up fuel and road
       G
Oh but bet your stars
    D
One day we'll return
    Em       D       G
For revival, sin and soul

         Em
Well the color of road
      G
Is as black as the coal
    D                     C
The old-timers burnt into ash
        Em
And the lines laid in gold
        G      
Lead us all the way home
   D                    C
We follow them as hours pass
          C                                G       D
While the diesel engine's humming like the rain...
              C                              G       D
All while the rubber tires are burning up to sing...

        Em
Heading down, heading south
     G
Come south we head north
       D                         C
To the west where the west never won
Em               G
Chasing lonesome whistle bells
    D               C
And iron to falling suns
          C                              G       D
While the diesel engine's burning like a train...
          C                           G       D
In that old familiar Norfolk southern way...

          G
Fare thee well old friends
          D
Fare thee well we go
Em                  C
Burning up fuel and road

Oh but bet your stars

One day we'll return
    Em       D       G
