Chords

"Cabinessence"(Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks) Largely recorded in late 1966 for the unreleased "SMiLE" Album; eventually released by the band on "20/20"(1969) While Carol Kaye's banjo is more prominent, both Carl and Tommy Tedesco recorded acoustic guitar parts for this track. This is the most guitarist-friendly suggestion for one part. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse]
 Cmaj7              C7           F           Em7
Light the lamp and fire mellow, cabin essence,

 Am     G/B               E7sus4      Am7  
timely hello welcomes the time for a change. 

 Cmaj7                C7                 F           
Lost and found, you still remain there, you’ll find a meadow

Em7          Am7         G/B             E7sus4       A5
filled with grain there, I’ll give you a home on the range.
[Chorus]
D5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse? 
(Truck-driving man, do what you can)
D5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse?
(High-tail your load off the road, out of night-life, it's a gas, man)
G5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse?
(I don’t believe I gotta grieve, in and out of luck with a buck and a booth)
G5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse?
(Catching on to the truth, in the vast past, the last gasp)
D5                       
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse? 
(In the land, in the dust, trust that you must catch as catch can) [Verse]
Cmaj7                C7                F            Em7
I want to watch you windblown facing, waves of wheat

     Am     G/B                  E7sus4       Am7 
for your embracing, folks sing a song of the grain. 

 Cmaj7       C7                   F            Em7
Nestle in a kiss below there,the constellations ebb

     Am7             G/B        E7sus4       A5
and flow there, and witness our home on the range.
[Chorus]
D5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse? 
(Truck-driving man, do what you can)
D5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse?
(High-tail your load off the road, out of night-life, it's a gas, man)
G5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse?
(I don’t believe I gotta grieve, in and out of luck with a buck and a booth)
G5
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse?
(Catching on to the truth, in the vast past, the last gasp)
D5                       
Who rang the iron horse? Who rang the iron horse? 
(In the land, in the dust, trust that you must catch as catch can) [Bridge]
 A                       C       D              F        
Have you seen the Grand Coulee, working on the railroad?

 G                       Bb      C 
Have you seen the Grand Coulee, working on the railroad?
[Outro]
 A7
Over and over, the crow cries, uncover the cornfield,

 A7
Over and over, the thresher and hover the wheat field,

 A7
Over and over, the crow cries, uncover the cornfield,

 A7
Over and over, the thresher and hover the wheat field...
