California Zephyr Lyrics

Gibbard plays the song as I've transcribed here- in G with no capo. Farrar plays it in
with the capo on the 5th fret. To play the Farrar part just pop the capo on the 5th
and transpose the chords to D. Fun for you and a friend!
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
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
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
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
