[Verse 1]
G                      C          G
Nineteen and sixteen I started to roam,
G                              D  Dsus4
Out in the West, no money, no home
G               C              G
I went drifting along with the tide,
G                C     G
I landed on the Great Divide


[Chorus]
G                  C     G
Railroading on the Great Divide,
G                                  D  Dsus4
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
G                       C        G
There you’ll find me as years go by
G                   C     G 
Railroading on the Great Divide

[Verse 2]
G                        C        G
A skinny old-timer from old Cheyenne
G                         G  Gsus2 G  D Dsus4 D
Railroading Wyoming, the best in the land
    G                     C           G
The long steel rail, that short cross-tie,
G                  C      G
I laid across the Great Divide


[Chorus]
G                  C     G
Railroading on the Great Divide,
G                                  D  Dsus4
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
G                       C        G
There you’ll find me as years go by
G                   C     G 
Railroading on the Great Divide

[Verse 3]
G              C          G
As I look down across the breeze,
G                         G  Gsus2 G  D Dsus4 D
Number Three coming, the fastest on wheels
     G               C           G
Through old Laramie we watch her climb
G                     C     G
She sails across the Great Divide

[Chorus]
G                  C     G
Railroading on the Great Divide,
G                                  D  Dsus4
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
G                       C        G
There you’ll find me as years go by
G                   C     G 
Railroading on the Great Divide
