C. W. Mccall - Silverton Train guitar chord

Silverton Train

C.W. McCall

(B) not sure if they play it in the chorus or not I can't really tell

Capo at the first fret

E

She was born one mornin' on a San Juan summer

Back in eighteen and eighty and one

She was a beautiful daughter of the D and R G

A

And she weighed about a thousand ton

E

Well, it's a-forty-five mile through the Animas canyon

So they set her on the narra gauge

She drank a whole lot a' water

And she ate a lot of coal A

And they called her the Silverton (Silverton train)

(Chorus)

E A (B)

Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango

E A B

Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal

E A (B)

Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon

B A B A E

See the smoke and hear the whistle blow

E

E

Well, now listen to the whistle in the Rock Wood cut

On the high line to Silverton town

And you're gonna get a shiver

When you check out the river A

Which is four hundred feet straight down

E

Take on some water at the Needleton tank

And then a-struggle up a two-five grade

And by the time you get your hide

Past the Snowshed slide A

You've had a ride on the Silverton (Silverton train)

Repeat Chorus

E A E A B A B A

Repaet Chorus

E

Now, down by the station, early in the mornin'

There's a whole lot a' people in line

And they all got a ticket

On The Train To Yesterday A

And it's a-gonna leave on time

E

Well, it's a forty-five mile up the Animas canyon

So they run her on the narra gauge

She takes a whole lot a' water

And she needs a lot of coal A

And they call her the Silverton (Silverton train)

Repeat Chorus

(Fade out) Same chords as chorus

Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango

Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal

Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon

See the smoke and hear the whistle blow

Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango

Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal

Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon

See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
