Woooo!
A augmentedA BB D MajorD A augmentedA
VERSE:
A augmentedA
Well I was born upon the east coast
D MajorD
To a working family’s wage
E MajorE
‘Neath the crumblin’ bricks and mortar
D MajorD A augmentedA
Of a manufacturin’ age
A augmentedA
But you gave me a voice
D MajorD
And a hunger for the stage
E MajorE
I went searchin’
D MajorD A augmentedA
For a land where I could shout
A augmentedA
So I traced a line so serpentine
D MajorD
Through cities grey and steel
E MajorE
To a girl with auburn hair
D MajorD A augmentedA
Tell my heart how it could feel
A augmentedA
To a lover firm and steady
D MajorD
As my hands upon the wheel
E MajorE
Two and ten
D MajorD A augmentedA A augmentedA
Even then I had my doubts, hey!
CHORUS:
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
So I said hold my hand
A augmentedA
`Til the pines turn to cedars
D MajorD E MajorE
And the cedars turn to sand
A augmentedA
We’ll unwind this ribbon highway
D MajorD E MajorE
`Til we reach the very end of who I am
D MajorD N.C. A augmentedA BB D MajorD A augmentedA
I am a West Coast Man
VERSE:
A augmentedA
We caught a southern wind
D MajorD
Blowin cross the great divide
E MajorE
And it pulled me to the desert
D MajorD a
With my bitterness and pride
A augmentedA
Left my heart a vacant relic
D MajorD
Til I let you come inside
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
And I learned to live off plenty in the drought
E MajorE
Til you said “Babe,
D MajorD A augmentedA
Pack your things, we’re headed out”
CHORUS:
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
So hold my hand
A augmentedA
`Til the pines turn to cedars
D MajorD E MajorE
And the cedars turn to sand
F# minorF#m
Well I came here as your lover
D MajorD
But now it`s as your friend
E MajorE
That I stand
D MajorD N.C. A augmentedA A augmentedA
And you are a west coast man
BREAK:
A augmentedA D MajorD
So just leave it all behind
A augmentedA
Well all your trouble
D MajorD
And the wonderin` in your eye
A augmentedA
For every stor-ry
(That you cannot write)
D MajorD
Just close the book on it
A augmentedA
(Close the book on it)
`Cause we’re headed out sweet darlin`
D MajorD
(Close the book on it)
Just you and me girl
B minorBm D MajorD
Close the book on iiiiiit
VERSE:
A augmentedA
And the skies they opened wide
D MajorD
The day we landed on the coast
E MajorE
And I fell like autumn rain
D MajorD A augmentedA
Upon the one I love the most
A augmentedA
Against the bruised and battered U-haul
D MajorD
Still haunted by the ghost
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Of a thousand endless nights out on the road
A augmentedA
And I cursed the cold pacific rain
D MajorD
For falling on my home
E MajorE
Til it cut through my intentions
D MajorD A augmentedA
And it soaked me to the bone
A augmentedA
And I was screaming at the skies
D MajorD
`Til I was laughing on my own
E MajorE
That`s when I knew
E MajorE
Well I was through
A augmentedA
And I was home
CHORUS:
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
So hold my hand
A augmentedA
`Til the pines turn to cedars
D MajorD E MajorE
And the cedars turn to sand
F# minorF#m
We’ll chase a cold water romance
D MajorD
With this north western land
E MajorE
That`s who I am
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
When you hold my hand
A augmentedA
`Til the sky turns fire red
D MajorD E MajorE
Beyond the farthest reach of land
F# minorF#m
I came crawling to your shoreline
D MajorD
But it`s time to take a stand
E MajorE
For who I am
D MajorD N.C.
I am a West Coast Man
