Santa Fe

Fans of Eilen will probably know and love this song, and I'm definitely one of them, so I took a crack at transcribing the chords. I'm a novice and new to guitar, so I apologise if they are too basic/incorrect! Hopefully someone else can expand on these. Happy playing/singing :) Elja.  


G                                             
You picked up a broken bottle 
            Em 
In case anyone gave us any trouble 
             C                                           D 
And we walked all the way back to Cortez 


                G 
You sang help me dear doctor 
          Em 
At the top of your lungs 
                  C                                  D 
You'd been soaking up drink like a sponge 


G 
Little boy down the street  
Em 
We all heard you mournfully 
       C                             D 
Call again and again for Roberta 
G           Em 
Rober - ta… 
C           D 
Rober - ta… 


       G 
The mountain towns burned red 
Em 
Consumed by a sunset 
         C                                       D 
I'd be happy disappearing under colors like that 

     
       G 
And I fell in love with trains, 
Em 
Haunted by the old refrain 
C                                  D 
You ride the Southern, I'll ride the Santa Fe 
G       Em 
Santa Fe… 
C       D 
Santa Fe… 


G 
It was wrong of me to leave 
Em 
'Cause I couldn't stand a perfect thing 
C                                                 D 
But I was too young to know any better 


            G 
And I'd give the world if it were mine 
Em 
To let these memories slip my mind 
C                                                     D 
And wake up next to you one more time 
       G       Em 
One more… 
C              D 
One more time… 
       G      Em 
One more … 
C              D 
One more time…
