Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
One of my absolute favorites from Dave Mallett's catalogue. The piece gets fuller orchestration as it
progresses, including choir and, fittingly enough, dulcimer. For the most part, the piece's strumming pattern
is pretty standard, but he'll sometimes include a little cadential "coda" of G-->A7-->D where he breaks
from the strumming pattern to play three sharp quarter notes. You'll hear it on the recording, and you can
assume that anytime the chord progression indicates a G-->A7-->D movement, he's doing the "coda" strumming
pattern. Enjoy!
[Intro]
D G A7
D G A7
[Verse 1]
D G D G A7 D
I'm headin' out of New York town on some old number nine
G D G A7 D
Up north the Hudson's wild and the sun begins to shine
G D G A7 D
High noon, high tide, six string partner by my side
G D G A7 D G A7 D G A7 D
I don't think I ever had a better ride, or at least I can't recall one
[Verse 2]
D G D G A7 D
Two wholesome lookin' ladies two rows back behind
G D G A7 D
Are pickin' on a dulcimer and the sound is soft and fine
G D G A7 D
Business man, Dapper Dan, grandpa with his tired old hands
D G D G A7 D
He has done the best he can and we all must do the same
[Chorus]
G A7 D G
And the music from the dulcimer is a sad and simple strain
G D G A7 D G A7 D G A7 D
Somewhere in my soul I know that God is on this train
[Verse 3]
D G D G A7 D
I guess I should be somewhere else but where I just don't know
G D G A7 D
Where the women dance and sing, and where the softer breezes blow
G D G A7 D
Where the grass is always green and the old folks don't grow old
G D G A7 D
But for now I'll ride and bide my time down here below
[Chorus]
G A7 D G
And a sweet, sweet voice is singing, and as I strain to hear
G D A A7 D
The music from the dulcimer is washin' down like beer
[Verse 4]
A7 D A7 D G A7
The world of men sits and stands right here before my eyes
A7 D A7 D G A7
I see a young man warrior-bound, and I hear a young girl's sighs
G D G A7 D
And I see a couple lost in love, the old conductor stands above them
G D G A7 D G A7 D G A7 D
"Tickets please, this ride's not free, six hours to Montreal"
[Verse 1]
D G D G A7 D
I'm headin' out of New York town on some old number nine
G D G A7 D
Up north the Hudson's wild and the sun begins to shine
G D G A7 D
High noon, high tide, six string partner by my side
G D G A7 D
I don't think I ever had a better ride, or at least I can't recall one
[Outro]
