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
