Intro: Bm G E7 

Verse 

Bm                 G 
Sun went careening 

over the ceiling 
    E7               Bm 
and crashed onto the plains 
    G           A7             Bm 
set fire to the amber waves of grain 

Bm                G 
The moon it dances over acres and fences 
    E7                Bm 
and waltzes down into the water 
G               A7          Bm 
sounds like the ring that I bought her 

Pre-Chorus 

G                D 
There's a gal in California 
F#7                         Bm 
see her when I get off this rail 
G                 A7            Bm 
sent her one last letter in the mail 


         G                   D 
Will you wait for me, by the blue oak tree 
         F#7 
will you marry me? 
       G                       D 
I know I've been gone and this rail road's long 
      F#7                   Bm 
but I built it for to carry you a ring 


Verse 

Bm              G 
Twelve hour days for minimum wage 
         E7                        Bm 
and I'll carry every penny back to Sacramento 
G                 A7               Bm 
This black cherry yard will let me swing home 

Bm                 G 
Just a railroad man with railroad hands 
      E7                              Bm 
and I built this track to build you a home 
G                  A7          Bm 
I just built you a place to be alone 

Pre-Chorus 

     G 
All the way to Promontory 
  D 
I wrote a lover's story 
   F#7                     Bm 
and I'm coming back for to fulfill 
    G           A7          Bm 
the promises my letters did reveal 


         G                   D 
Will you wait for me, by the blue oak tree 
         F#7 
will you marry me? 
       G                       D 
I know I've been gone and this rail road's long 
      F#7                   Bm 
but I built it for to carry you a ring 
         G                   D 
Will you wait for me, by the blue oak tree 
         F#7 
will you marry me? 
   G                       D 
Oh I've been gone and this railroads gone 
      F#7                         Bm 
But I built it for to carry you a ring 
      F#7                         Bm 
But I built it for to carry you a ring 
      F#7                         Bm 
But I built it for to carry you a ring
