How can I join on a row to get back to the first relevant row?

Question

I have been searching on the net for an answer to a SQL related question. I hope anyone can help me out.

Table1

Item
ABC4

Table 2

Previous-Item	New-Item
ABC1	ABC2
ABC1	ABC3
ABC2	ABC3
ABC3	ABC4

I want to join Table 1 (Item) to Table 2 (New-Item) and get all the previous items (back from ABC4 to ABC1. Combinations are possible in the data. Sometimes an item can only be backtracked from 4 to 1 and sometimes directly. This theoretically could go to infinite. So I am looking for a situation how I can make a loop in a join.

My query right now is:

SELECT 
T1.Item, 
T3.Previous-Item 
FROM Table1 T1 (NOLOCK)
LEFT JOIN Table2 T2 (NOLOCK) ON T1.Item = T2.Previous-Item
LEFT LOOP JOIN Table2 T3(NOLOCK) ON T2.Item = T3.Previous-Item

UPDATE:

The expected result would be:

Item	Previous-Item
ABC4	ABC3
ABC4	ABC2
ABC4	ABC1
