California Zephyr Jay Farrar
Official Website: http://www.onefastmove.com/
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
[G]Up the Hudson Valley across NY State
To Ch[C]icago then the plains
All so ea[D]sy and dream like
Crashing the salt [C]flat day break[G]
I hear "I'll take you home again Kathleen"
Said in f[C]ogwinds out there that blow
Across the roof[D]tops of eerie old hangover
San Francisco[G]
Chorus 2X
Now I'm transcontinental[D]
3000 miles from [Am]my home
I'm on the California Zephyr[C]
Watching America roll by[G]
I've hit the end of[G] the trail
Can't even drag my body I've been driven mad[C]
For three years
[D]Too much fame keeps a body busy
And a min[C]d full of white port tears[G]
Terrified by that sad song
Across rooftops mingled with the[C] lachrymose cries
Of the Sa[D]lvation Army meeting on the corner
Saying Satan is the cause of it all[G]
Chorus 2X
Now I'm transcontinental[D]
3000 miles from [Am]my home
I'm on the California Zephyr[C]
Watching America roll by[G]
Terrified by that sad song
Across rooftops mingled with the[C] lachrymose cries
Of the Sa[D]lvation Army meeting on the corner
Saying Satan is the cause of it all[G]
Chorus 2X
Now I'm transcontinental[D]
3000 miles from [Am]my home
I'm on the California Zephyr[C]
Watching America roll by[G]
