Big East West

	  		
verse 1 
 G7                     Cadd9                         
Line of crosses in the path 
Cadd9                     F6    F       F6 
The wire highway of the telegraph 
F                       G7sus4 
On a sea of prairie snow 
G7                 C            G7sus4 
Like a picture of long ago 

verse 2 
G7                      Cadd9 
And I was riding on the wheel 
                    F6          F 
I was thinking on the past 
F6      F               G7sus4 
Looking out across the fields 
G7                      C 
Watching people turn to photographs 
 
C7                              Fadd9 
And every sailor knows the truth 
                           C 
About the anchor and the chain 
                            Fadd9 
Got to hold them close to you 
D7/F#                   G7sus4    G7 
If you don?t want to drift away again 
C                       Fadd9 
Every gyspy knows the way 
                         Am 
Like the buttons on his vest 
C                       G7sus4 
And the sun lies down before you  
G7                      Cadd9 
Out on the big east west 


verse 3 
G7                 Cadd9                         
In the silo up ahead  
Cadd9                     F6    F       F6 
The golden promise of the sun 
F                       G7sus4 
Grinded into your daily bread 
G7                 C            G7sus4 
Bring it home to your loved ones 

verse 4 
G7                      Cadd9 
Once in every now and then 
                    F6          F 
When you get back from the wars 
F6      F                    G7sus4 
You turn around and you?re gone again 
G7                      C 
To that wide open shore 

C7                              Fadd9 
And every sailor knows the truth 
                                C 
About the anchor and the chain 
                        Fadd9 
Hold them close to you 
D7/F#                   G7sus4    G7 
If you don?t want to drift away again 
C                       Fadd9 
Every gyspy knows the way 
                         Am 
Like the buttons on his vest 
C                       G7sus4 
And the sun lies down before you  
G7                      Cadd9 
Out on the big east west 
G7                      Cadd9 
 On the big east west
