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 E ---2-7- B -3----- G ------- D ------- A ------- E -------
