capo 2

G D G C
the railroads and the riverboats that bred the mighty man
G D C D
that we read about and we dream about , the men who built this land
G D G D
and the farmers and the lumbermen and the men who worked the mills
G D C D
and the poor hard working miners who died inside the hills

G C
while the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
and the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
and the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
and nature is calling , no one’s listening to her

G D G C
and the immigrants by the boat load in a dozen different tones
G D C G
sang of freedom in the new land , climbed the laddEr rung by rung
G D G C
some to boston , some to pittsburgh , philadelphia and st . paul
G D C G
and the old ways led to new days , they were welcome one and all

G C
while the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
and the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
and the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
and nature is calling , no one’s listening to her

G D G C
with the railroads and the riverboats and the bread lines far behind
G D C G
and the days we sang together , long gone but still in mind
G D G C
and the men who came before us , men who brought us to today
G D C G
and the story still unravels from the dreams of yesterday

G C
while the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
and the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
and the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
and nature is calling , no one’s listening to her
D G
and nature is calling , no one’s listening to her
