Intro 1
(G major) (F sharp minor) (B minor)
Verse 1
Up (D major) and down the Blue
Ridge mountain (B minor) chain, (A major)
they're strippin' coal
Sellin' it across the sea to (G major) Japan,
(F sharp minor) so I'm (B minor) told
See the (D major) mighty wheels of progress turn
and the (A major) lanes of commerce run
A cornucopia of junk
it flows from the (G major) land of the (F sharp minor) rising sun (B minor)
All across (D major) this mighty country, friends,
(B minor) the (A major) oak trees turn to gold
We can't afford our timber,
we (G major) cannot buy (F sharp minor) our (B minor) coal
Cause the (D major) foreigners own houses,
lifestyle like (A major) ours they see
So we trade our own resources
for tran (G major) sistorized (F sharp minor) TV (B minor)
So get (D major) on board the highland light train
(G major) of my palisade
And (A major) ride to hell or glory,
it makes no (G major) never mind (F sharp minor) to me (B minor)
This train (D major) should not crowd it
an (B minor) d the (A major) ticket fare is free
But it's a long, hot, dusty
ride
backward to (G major) 1933 (F sharp minor) (B minor) (A major)
(G major)
(F sharp minor) (B minor) (A major)
(G major) (F sharp minor) (B minor)
Some say (D major) that the great invention of all (A major) time
It was the wheel, his progress,
really, the (G major) auto (F sharp minor) mo biles
(B minor) (D major)
Immaterialistic slavery,
kind friends, (A major) now we must toil
As we bow down
to the idolistic god (G major) of Arab (F sharp minor) oil (B minor)
And way (D major) down in Alabama,
on the (A major) old Browns Ferry Shore
See the TV, a nuclear reactor,
(G major) like a (F sharp minor) child of war (B minor)
I'm just sending (D major) out the kilowatts
down the (A major) Girdard Peak load line
A detriment to society
and a (G major) threat to all (F sharp minor) man (B minor) kind
So get (D major) on board the Highland Light train
(G major) of my fantasy
And (A major) right to hell the glory
makes no (G major) never mind (F sharp minor) to me (B minor)
This train's (D major) not crowded
and (B minor) the (A major) ticket fare is free
But it's a long, hot, ride
backward to (G major) 1933 (F sharp minor) three (B minor) (A major) (G major)
(F sharp minor) (B minor) (A major)
(G major) (F sharp minor) (B minor)
So get (D major) on board the Highland Light train
(G major) of my fantasy
And (A major) ride to hell or glory,
Max will (G major) never mind (D major) (F sharp minor) me (B minor)
This train, (D major) she's not crowded
and the ticket (A major) fare is free
But it's a long, hot, dusty ride
backward to (G major) 1933
