Em (022000@1)        GDown (320003@1)the mountainside
       EmTo (022000@1)the coastline
         CPast (x32010@1)the angry tide
           EmThe (022000@1)mighty diesel whines
        GAnd (320003@1)the tunnel comes
        EmAnd (022000@1)the tunnel goes
         CAround (x32010@1)another bend
          EmThe (022000@1)giant drivers roll

I rode the highball
I fired the Daylight
When I turned around 65
I couldn't see right

It was "Mr. Jones,
We've got to let you go
It's company policy
You've got  pension though."
     GRoll (320003@1)on
           Em (022000@1)Southern Pacific
        COn (x32010@1)your silver rails
        EmOn (022000@1)your silver rails
Roll on
Southern Pacific
On your silver rails
Through the moonlight

I put in my time
I put in my time
Now I'm left to roll
Down the long decline

I ain't no brake man
Ain't no conductor
But I would be though
If I was younger

Roll on 
Southern Pacific
On your silver rails
On your silver rails
Roll on
Southern Pacific
Roll on
On your silver rails
