G 
Up the Hudson Valley across New York
C 
State to Chicago then the Plains
D 
All so easy and dreamlike crashing

sad fog winds out there to blow

Across the rooftops of eerie old
G 
hangover San Francisco

Verse 3
G 
I've hit the end of my trail can't
even drag my own body
C 
I've been driven mad for three years
D 
Too much fame keeps a body busy
C 
G 
and the mind full of tears
Terrified by that sad song
across rooftops
C 
mingled with the lachrymose cries
D 
of the salvation army meeting
on the corner saying,
G 
"Satan is the cause of it all"

Verse 4
D 
Now I'm transcontinental
Am 
3000 miles from my  home
C 
I'm on the California Zephyr
G 
watching America roll by
Am 
Now I'm transcontinental
D 
3000 miles from my home
C 
I'm on the California Zephyr watching
G 
America roll by
