Southern Pacifica Lyrics

By Josh Ritter
Chords 654321
Dm 000231 or (I usually play it 000230)
I used this performance for guidance - http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=xH8KG09xYsQ
I grabbed these lyrics from www.joshritter.com and in the video the second chorus
he sings "Tell her I was barely there" and I've left the original "Tell her I was
on the move" but find myself using the video lyrics often.
On the extra Gsus4 he'll sometimes remove his first finger for a measure and the
outro might not be the chords I have listed.
Good luck and enjoy.
Southern Pacific
Red, white and blue
Where are we running to?
Over the wide plains
Over the wide plains
Take me to someplace new
Remember me to Roxy Anne
You know she's still lovely
Tell her I was on the move
The last time you saw me
That you only saw the back of my head
Climb through the timbers
And I'll breath the dust Of
cosmos and wild rose bud
And thunder the unknowns
In the phosphorous white glow
Of saber-tooth bones in the dusk
Remember me to Roxy Anne
You know she's still lovely
Tell her I was on the move
The last time you saw me
That you only saw the back of my head
Southern Pacific
Take me to meet
Whatever is hunting
For me...
*Note the last C/G -> Gsus4 on the outro might not be what he plays in the video
and it could be a C (032013) -> G thing (320013).
