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)
