D MajorD G+G A7A7


Verse 1:
D MajorD           G+G  D MajorD   G+G    A7A7   D MajorD
I'm headin' out of New York town on some old number nine
G+G      D MajorD           G+G   A7A7   D MajorD
Up north the Hudson's wild and the sun begins to shine
G+G     D MajorD     G+G     A7A7   D MajorD
High noon, high tide, six string partner by my side
G+G          D MajorD            G+G    A7A7   D MajorD     G+G A7A7 D MajorD G+G A7A7 D MajorD
I don't think I ever had a better ride, or at least I can't recall one

Verse 2:
D MajorD           G+G D MajorD  G+G    A7A7  D MajorD
Two wholesome lookin' ladies two rows back behind
G+G        D MajorD        G+G    A7A7    D MajorD
Are pickin' on a dulcimer and the sound is soft and fine
G+G       D MajorD      G+G    A7A7    D MajorD
Business man, Dapper Dan, grandpa with his tired old hands
D MajorD        G+G    D MajorD     G+G    A7A7   D MajorD
He has done the best he can and we all must do the same


Chorus:
G+G           A7A7      D MajorD       G+G
And the music from the dulcimer is a sad and simple strain
G+G        D MajorD        G+G   A7A7   D MajorD   G+G A7A7 D MajorD G+G A7A7 D MajorD
Somewhere in my soul I know that God is on this train


Verse 3:
D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD    G+G    A7A7     D MajorD
I guess I should be somewhere else but where I just don't know
G+G        D MajorD               G+G   A7A7   D MajorD
Where the women dance and sing, and where the softer breezes blow
G+G         D MajorD          G+G     A7A7     D MajorD
Where the grass is always green and the old folks don't grow old
G+G        D MajorD        G+G     A7A7   D MajorD
But for now I'll ride and bide my time down here below

Chorus:
G+G              A7A7      D MajorD       G+G
And a sweet, sweet voice is singing, and as I strain to hear
G+G         D MajorD      A augmentedA    A7A7    D MajorD
The music from the dulcimer is washin' down like beer


Verse 4:
  A7A7    D MajorD  A7A7    D MajorD   G+G          A7A7
The world of men sits and stands right here before my eyes
A7A7   D MajorD     A7A7   D MajorD      G+G          A7A7
I see a young man warrior-bound, and I hear a young girl's sighs
   G+G      D MajorD         G+G   A7A7   D MajorD
And I see a couple lost in love, the old conductor stands above them
 G+G          D MajorD          G+G    A7A7  D MajorD  G+G A7A7 D MajorD G+G A7A7 D MajorD
"Tickets please, this ride's not free, six hours to Montreal"


Verse 1:
D MajorD           G+G  D MajorD   G+G    A7A7   D MajorD
I'm headin' out of New York town on some old number nine
G+G      D MajorD           G+G   A7A7   D MajorD
Up north the Hudson's wild and the sun begins to shine
G+G     D MajorD     G+G     A7A7   D MajorD
High noon, high tide, six string partner by my side
G+G          D MajorD            G+G    A7A7   D MajorD
I don't think I ever had a better ride, or at least I can't recall one
