VERSE:
G        C                           G        C
I came to the coast to get away from it all,
G                 C
but my head boxed me in
G        D        G
and spinning I began to fall.
G        D                       G
Round and round like a cannon ball.

CHORUS:
G        C                    G           C          
     D
I rode across the land on a manmade machine.
G        C                    G           C          
     D
I drove it with heart and integrity
G               D          G
miles upon miles against the wind.
G               D                C
Miles upon miles with my face a grin;
G               D          G
miles upon miles again the wind.

So I picked myself for day two;
chasing the sun to the West but how to win the wind knew.
On the other coast what did I find?
So much for leaving it all behind.
The wind, it knew me how to find. It knew me how to find.

I rode across the land on a manmade machine.
I drove it with heart and integrity
miles upon miles against the wind.
Miles upon miles with my face a grin;
miles upon miles again the wind.

BRIDGE/SOLO:
G C G C G C D
G C G C A7 D
G C G C G D G

I rode across the land on a manmade machine.
I drove it with heart and integrity
miles upon miles against the wind.
Miles upon miles with my face a grin;
miles upon miles again the wind.
