2. Empire builder brings me home.


Verse

G Am D7 G
All day every day, I swing the hammer to the metal on the northern railway.
(fill 1)

Em Am
Always a movie playing in my head.

D7 G (fill 12)
A million movie stars and you me

G Am
Moonshine every night
D7 G (fill 1)
Eating supper by the fire out in the clear moonlight
Em Am
Ankles crossed, hands behind my head
D7 G
Telling stories, singing songs about the west
