Notes about this song:

  • For the intro/fill strum Em and pick out the notes tabbed below. It's really the bass line but sounds good when playing on your own.

         G                    Em                
Down the mountainside, to the coastline         
         C                      Em              
Past the angry tide, the mighty diesel whines.  
        G                     Em                
And the tunnel comes, and the tunnel goes       
       C                      Em                
Round another bend, the giant drivers roll.     
                                                
I rode the Highball I fired the Daylight        
When I turned sixty-five I couldn't see right.  
It was Mr. Jones, We've got to let you go       
It's company policy You've got a pension though.
                                                
Roll on, Southern Pacific                       
On your silver rails On your silver rails       
Roll on, Southern Pacific                       
On your silver rails Through the moonlight.     
                                                
(Fill)                                          
                                                
I put in my time, I put in my time              
Now I'm left to roll, Down the long decline.    
(play fill twice)                               
                                                
I ain't no brake man, Ain't no conductor        
But I would be though, If I was younger.        
                                                
Roll on, Southern Pacific                       
On your silver rails, On your silver rails      
Roll on, Southern Pacific,                      
Roll on, on your silver rails.                  
                                                
Em to fade...
