Glen Campbell – Bloodline (Guitar)

G
In the eyes of the old ones

    C               D
Who watched from a distance

       G        G7       C    D
It was devilish magic at best

        G             G7
But the hearts of the children

     C           D
Were filled with excitement

        C                D           G
As they dreamed of their home in the West

       C                     G
Oh the engine would fire the black smoke would rise

                            G7     D
Thru the spray of the slick silver steam

       C                        G
It was something of wonder that steel plated thunder

      D        G        Bm   
That moved the American dream

     D          C       A
That moved the American dream

               A
I can hear the sleepy whistle blowin'

              D
I can see the sparks beneath the wheels

        A
As she leaves the hills behind her

        D
For the ragged cotton fields

 A                   B7
In a dusty one-horse station

        D                 A
All the children grow impatient

                         B7            D    
And they stare into the distance for a sign

N/C      E     D                  G       A
Here she comes can't you hear the whistle whine

         E           G          D        A 
Here she comes she's rollin' in right on time

           E              D          A        Bm
Well I can feel her she's runnin' in my Blood Line

      D                   A
she's Running' in my bloodline

A
Overman Grady waves his lantern

        D
"All on board" I hear him cry

       A
 While Lucius stokes the cinder Lord

              D
and wipes the coal dirt from his eyes

            A                 B7
Yes she was proud and full of fire

       D                A
As she rode that silver wire

                              B7           D        
From the Kansas Plains to the great Sierra Pine

N/C      E      G                 D       A
Here she comes can't you hear the whistle whine 

         E           G          D        A
Here she comes she's rollin' in right on time

      E              D           A       Bm                   
I can feel her she's runnin' in my blood line 

     D                  A
yeah running in my bloodline                          

G                        G7
Now the stockyards are empty

C                   D
The steel rails are rusted

     G                          C    D
They belong to the wind and the sand

       G
But we long will remember

    C             D
the steel and the timber

        C                              G
And the pulse that once beat thru this land

       C                     G
Oh the engine would fire the black smoke would rise

                            G7     D                         
Thru the spray of the slick silver steam

       C                        G
It was something of wonder that steel plated thunder

     D         G        Bm   Bm7  
That moved the American dream

 D        C        G     C
moved the American dream

             G    C  
The American dream
