STEAM TRAIN
(Words & Music by Adam Mackintosh)
(the changes are not placed on the beat as the software will not allow it)


  G          B7           Em           A           

California, get me high, New York City wouldn’t pay me no mind,

A7            D7           G

I cross the country sixteen times a year.

          G              B7          Em          A           

Oglala, oh my my, there was gold in the hills but the valley was dry,

A7           D7           G

rain was fallin’ like an endless trail of tears.


          G          B7           Em, Eb, D

CHORUS: Feelin like a steam train dead on track,

C# min7b5      A      D7                G           

I’m lookin’ back on a long black steam train.

G          B7           Em          A           

Sweet Virginia, wave bye-bye, there’s fruit in the fields and there's pie in the sky;

A7           D7           G

the milk and honey have always been right here.

G           B7            Em               A

From Castle Rock to Wichita from a mountain top in Arkansas,

A7            D7           G

I could always hear you loud and clear.

(CHORUS)
(solo passage over verse)

G         B7          Em           A         

So, California, get me high, New York City wouldn’t pay me no mind,

A7           D7          G

I cross the country sixteen times a year . . . .

(CHORUS)
