Railroads And Riverboats Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

GThe railroads and the riveDrboats that Gbred the mighty maCn

 That we Gread about and we Ddream about, theC men who built this laDnd

 And the Gfarmers and the luDmbermen and theG men who worked the millDs

 And the Gpoor hard working Dminers whoC died inside the hillDs

 While the rivers that Gflow are the blood of our lanCd

 And the trucks they keep rDumbling on the great concrete baGnd

 And the railroads keep Gpushing to be all they once werCe

 And nature is Dcalling, no one's listening to heGr

 And the Gimmigrants by the boat loaDd in a Gdozen different toneCs

 Sang of fGreedom in the new lDand, climbed thCe ladder rung by ruGng

 Some to GBoston, some to DPittsburgh, PhilaGdelphia and St. PaCul

 And the old Gways led to new Ddays, they Cwere welcome one and aGll

 While the rivers that Gflow are the blood of our lanCd

 And the trucks they keep rDumbling on the great concrete baGnd

 And the railroads keep Gpushing to be all they once werCe

 And nature is Dcalling, no one's listening to heGr

 With the raGilroads and the rDiverboats and the Gbread lines far behiCnd

 And the dGays we sang toDgether, long Cgone but still in miGnd

 And the mGen who came bDefore us, men who Gbrought us to today C

 And the sGtory still uDnravels from theC dreams of yesterdaGy

 While the rivers that Gflow are the blood of our lanCd

 And the trucks they keep rDumbling on the great concrete baGnd

 And the railroads keep Gpushing to be all they once werCe

 And nature is Dcalling, no one's listening to heGr

 And nature is Dcalling, no one's listening to heGr
