CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: C majorC  FF  C majorC  G+G  (2x)

  C majorC                        FF       C majorC
I work on the railroad, my name is Peyton
                           FF C majorC
I come from the East, far away
          FF                           Am7Am7
Where the Cape Breton hills touch the starlit waters
   G+G                   C majorC      G+G
My home peaceful there lays

  C majorC                        FF        C majorC
I came to the West for the work was plenty
                       FF C majorC
Building the steel highway
     FF                      Am7Am7
So I left all I own and the lass who loved me
G+G                       C majorC    FF  C majorC
Vowing to come home one day


CHORUS:
                  G+G               C majorC
And last night we walked o'er the mountains
               G+G                   C majorC
Through sunset fields touched with gold
            A minorAm             E minorEm
And all the birds sang her name
               FF     Csus4Csus4 G+G          C majorC     FF  C majorC  G+G  C majorC  FF  C majorC  G+G
In my highland dream I was once again home


           C majorC                      FF          C majorC
'Neath the hot prairie sun I will swing this hammer
                       FF C majorC
One dollar, one mile a day
        FF                           Am7Am7
And I'd lay the rails down from the Rockies to Mabou
  G+G                      C majorC      G+G
Myself, to see my love's face

        C majorC                     FF         C majorC
Oh, the iron road runs to the East like silver
                              FF C majorC
Polished by our own sweat and tears
    FF                       Am7Am7
And many are those who have worked 'til they've fallen
     G+G                          C majorC          FF  C majorC
They came with their dreams and died here


CHORUS:
                  G+G               C majorC
But last night we walked o'er the mountains
               G+G                   C majorC
Through sunset fields touched with gold
            A minorAm             E minorEm
And all the birds sang her name
               FF     Csus4Csus4 G+G          C majorC     FF  C majorC  G+G  C majorC  FF  C majorC  G+G
In my highland dream I was once again home


        C majorC                     FF           C majorC
Oh, the winter is nigh and my strength is waning
                          FF C majorC
The fever has reddened my brow
      FF                        Am7Am7
But a full skin of gold I have earned with my labour
G+G                    C majorC          G+G
Just a few days from home now


        C majorC                        FF          C majorC
Oh, the black midnight holds the promise of morning
                           FF C majorC
But the sunrise I'll never see
      FF                          Am7Am7
Lord, take my soul back o'er the mountains of Mabou
   G+G                     C majorC   FF  C majorC
To see if she waited for me


CHORUS:
                  G+G               C majorC
For last night we walked o'er the mountains
               G+G                   C majorC
Through sunset fields touched with gold
            A minorAm             E minorEm
And all the birds sang her name
               FF     Csus4Csus4 G+G          C majorC     FF  C majorC
In my highland dream I was once again home
                  A minorAm                       E minorEm
And just like the birds, my soul sings her name
               FF     Csus4Csus4  G+G       C majorC
In my highland dream I have made it home
