Chords with lyrics
RAILROAD EARTH
I've left out a lot of detail, so this is just the skeleton of the song… no
mistakes-mistakes that I'm aware of.
Capo on 6
E minorEm
[verse1]
C majorC G/BG/B D/AD/A C majorC D MajorD
Oh my love the long day unwinds
So many memories Underneath these pines
The house down the old road it still looks the same
But no one to greet us down the gravel lane
[chorus]
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
We don’t need to go Till you’re ready to go
I don’t need to know Till you want me to know
Let me sing you a song So you know where I’ll stand
C majorC
(lots of nonchordtones in the melody)
With my hand in your hand
E minorEm
Em C majorC
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B
[verse2]
Oh my love sheath to unbind
So many knotted endings to unwind
A augmentedA box full of letters A augmentedA long time ago
A augmentedA lifetime of love That you didn’t even know
[chorus repeats]
E minorEm (noodling up top)
She’s sailing on
C majorC D MajorD
Sailing on
[verse3]
A augmentedA song and a story Upon land of prayer
The wind and the water The sun and the air
A augmentedA day of redemption A augmentedA day on the sand
A augmentedA shell full of ash Let it fly from your hand
[chorus repeats]
She’s sailing on
Sailing on
