   A B D E
Woooo!

A B D  A


VERSE:
      A
Well I was born upon the east coast
   D
To a working family’s wage
       E
‘Neath the crumblin’ bricks and mortar
   D       A
Of a manufacturin’ age

     A
But you gave me a voice
    D
And a hunger for the stage
    E
I went searchin’
    D         A
For a land where I could shout

   A
So I traced a line so serpentine
     D
Through cities grey and steel
   E
To a girl with auburn hair
     D         A
Tell my heart how it could feel

   A
To a lover firm and steady
    D
As my hands upon the wheel
     E
Two and ten
   D       A     A
Even then I had my doubts, hey!


CHORUS:
      A  E  D
So I said hold my hand
     A
`Til the pines turn to cedars
     D       E
And the cedars turn to sand

     A
We’ll unwind this ribbon highway
     D             E
`Til we reach the very end of who I am
D N.C.       A B D  A
I am a West Coast Man


VERSE:
  A
We caught a southern wind
    D
Blowin cross the great divide
    E
And it pulled me to the desert
     D       a
With my bitterness and pride

     A
Left my heart a vacant relic
    D
Til I let you come inside
    E         D       A
And I learned to live off plenty in the drought

        E
Til you said “Babe,
      D          A
Pack your things, we’re headed out”


CHORUS:
  A  E  D
So hold my hand
     A
`Til the pines turn to cedars
     D       E
And the cedars turn to sand

    F#m
Well I came here as your lover
   D
But now it`s as your friend
    E
That I stand
   D N.C.       A A
And you are a west coast man


BREAK:
     A       D
So just leave it all behind
        A
Well all your trouble
              D
And the wonderin` in your eye

        A
For every stor-ry
(That you cannot write)

            D
Just close the book on it
          A
(Close the book on it)


`Cause we’re headed out sweet darlin`
          D
(Close the book on it)


Just you and me girl
          Bm D
Close the book on iiiiiit


VERSE:
     A
And the skies they opened wide
             D
The day we landed on the coast
    E
And I fell like autumn rain
     D       A
Upon the one I love the most

       A
Against the bruised and battered U-haul
    D
Still haunted by the ghost
   E        D         A
Of a thousand endless nights out on the road

    A
And I cursed the cold pacific rain
   D
For falling on my home
    E
Til it cut through my intentions
    D        A
And it soaked me to the bone

      A
And I was screaming at the skies
       D
`Til I was laughing on my own
        E
That`s when I knew
      E
Well I was through
      A
And I was home


CHORUS:
  A  E  D
So hold my hand
     A
`Til the pines turn to cedars
     D       E
And the cedars turn to sand

       F#m
We’ll chase a cold water romance
      D
With this north western land
       E
That`s who I am

     A  E  D
When you hold my hand
     A
`Til the sky turns fire red
      D         E
Beyond the farthest reach of land

    F#m
I came crawling to your shoreline
     D
But it`s time to take a stand
     E
For who I am
D N.C.
I am a West Coast Man
