This song's called Central Pacific.
[G] [E]
[Bm]
[G] [E]
[G] [Bm] Sun went [G] careening over the ceiling
[E] Crashed onto [Bm] the plains
[G] Set fire to the amber waves [Bm] of grain
Moon it dances [G] over acres and [E] fences
And waltzes [D] down into [Bm] the water
[G]
Sounds [A] like the ring [G] that I [Bm] bought her
[G] There's a gal in [D]
California
I hope [F#] to see her when I get off [Bm] this rail
[G] Send her one [A] last letter [Bm] in the mail
[G] Will you wait for me by the [D] blue oak [F#] tree?
Will you marry me?
[G] I know I've been gone, [D] this railroad's long
But [F#] I built it for to carry [Bm] you around
12-hour [G] days, I'm in a one-way
[E] Can I carry every penny [Em] bag per [Bm] saddle?
[G] This black [A] Chariot'll [Bm] take me home
Just a railroad man with railroad hands
And [E] I built this track to build [Bm] you a home
To [G] build you [A] a place to [Bm] be alone
I'm on [G] my way to promontory
[D] I wrote a lover's story
[F#] And I'm coming back for to [Bm] fulfill
[G]
Who promises my letters [Bm] did reveal
[G] Will you wait for me [D] by the blue oak tree?
[F#] Will you marry me?
[G] I know I've been [D] gone, this railroad's long
But I [F#] built it for to [D] carry [Bm] you around
Will [G] you wait for me [D] by the blue oak tree?
Will [F#] you marry me?
[G]
I know I've been gone, [D] this railroad's long
[G#] But I built it for to carry [Bm] you around
[F#] But I built it for to [Bm] carry you around
But [F#] I built it for to carry [D] [G] you [Bm] around
[A] [Bm]
[N]
[Bm] [D#] Was that the [B] cheesiest thing I've ever done to that song?
[Bm]
