California Zephyr

Open strumming in G

[G]Up the Hudson Valley across NY State
To Ch[C]icago then the plains
All so ea[D]sy and dream like
Crashing the salt [C]flat day break  [G]
I hear "I'll take you home again Kathleen"
Said in f[C]ogwinds out there that blow
Across the roof[D]tops of eerie old hangover
San Francisco   [G]

Now I'm transcontinental   [D]
3000 miles from [Am]my home
I'm on the California Zephyr[C]
Watching America roll by [G]

I've hit the end of[G] the trail
Can't even drag my body I've been driven mad    [C]
For three years
[D]Too much fame keeps a body busy
And a min[C]d full of white port tears    [G]
Terrified by that sad song
Across rooftops mingled with the[C] lachrymose cries
Of the Sa[D]lvation Army meeting on the corner
Saying Satan is the cause of it all       [G]

Now I'm transcontinental   [D]
3000 miles from [Am]my home
I'm on the California Zephyr[C]
Watching America roll by [G]
Terrified by that sad song
Across rooftops mingled with the[C] lachrymose cries
Of the Sa[D]lvation Army meeting on the corner
Saying Satan is the cause of it all       [G]

Now I'm transcontinental   [D]
3000 miles from [Am]my home
I'm on the California Zephyr[C]
Watching America roll by [G]
