Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Open strumming in G

Up the Hudson Valley across NY State

To Chicago then the plains

All so easy and dream like

Crashing the salt flat day break

I hear "I'll take you home again Kathleen"

Said in fogwinds out there that blow

Across the rooftops of eerie old hangover

San Francisco

Chorus 2x

Now I'm transcontinental

3000 miles from my home

I'm on the California Zephyr

Watching America roll by

I've hit the end of the trail

Can't even drag my body I've been driven mad

For three years

Too much fame keeps a body busy

And a mind full of white port tears

Terrified by that sad song

Across rooftops mingled with the lachrymose cries

Of the Salvation Army meeting on the corner

Saying Satan is the cause of it all

Chorus 2x

Now I'm transcontinental

3000 miles from my home

I'm on the California Zephyr

Watching America roll by

Terrified by that sad song

Across rooftops mingled with the lachrymose cries

Of the Salvation Army meeting on the corner

Saying Satan is the cause of it all

Chorus 2x

Now I'm transcontinental

3000 miles from my home

I'm on the California Zephyr

Watching America roll by
