Hood River Roll On

Intro: same as verse

[G]                       [C]          [G]   
The rusty pot bubbles, the bottle goes 'round
                                               [D]
Did you hear about Blackie? He flagged the westbound
   [G]                                        [D]
The young ones drift off to get drunk in their dreams
    [G]                    [C]              [G]
The old men sip coffee and stare through the steam

Chorus
[G]              [D]
Hood River, roll on
          [C]        [G]
There's so much to remember
  [G]            [C]
The old times are gone
    [D]         [G]  
Hood River, roll on

The fire's knocked down, the balloons are all packed
They're coughin' and flappin' along the steel track
The young kid remembers the old man's advice
He shakes out his bedroll and rolls it up nice
Chorus

The box rumbles up on a black cinder grade
Some tumble inside, and the others just wave
'Til scattered by smoke or the crunch of the shack
But no one looks up and nobody looks back
Chorus

May your long apple valleys stay green through the fall
And your magic white mountain watch over us all
Lead your old apple knockers in out of the snow
Let your rubber tramps ride where the trains never go
Chorus

Repeat: The old times are gone...Hood River, roll on

Instrumental break follows verse chords

Repeat: The old times are gone...Hood River, roll on (2x)

Added album cover, but video keeps playing a Martina McBride song - weird. Will do more editing from home; our tech dept at work has blocked all of the video and mp3 sites.

Video works fine from my home computer - wish there was a vid of them actually playing the song. Checking the chords in respect to the tune right now; changed a couple of words to match the video/recording.
-coffeesucker | 9/16/2009
Edited the chords - changed them to the Key of G - which the song is played in. Makes it easier to follow the recording. :)

Well, thanks again.
