[Verse 1]
[D]Goodbye brother, hello [G]railroad,
so [D]long, Chicago
All these [Bm]years,
thought I [A]was where [Em]I ought [G]to be
But [Em]times [G]are changin',
this [Em]country's growin'
And [D]I'm bound for San [A]Francisco

[Verse 2]
Oh, I've [G]lived through
more than I could tell
[Em]I've sold all that I could sell
Finally [Bm]leavin' it behind, goodbye, farewell

[Verse 3]
If it isn't [G]one thing,
then it's one thing more
If it is[Em]n't a fever that shows
you the door
It's the [D]air, [A]or the wa[Em]ter or
the god[D]damn [G]war

[Verse 4]
Goodbye [D]brother, hello rail[G]road,
so [D]long, [G]Chi[D]cago
All these [Bm]years,
thought I [A]was where I ought [G]to be
But times are changin',
this [Em]country's growin'
And I'm [Bm]bound for San Francisco
[A][Bm][D][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Mama died when brother was born
[Em]Daddy tried but he came up short
We were [Bm]hungry, scared,

[Verse 6]
and needed more
[Bm]
[G]How much can a person take?
I've been [Em]working hard since I was eight
Got [Bm]more than my share of years upon
my face (upon my [G]face)

[Verse 7]
Brother, I've made up [G]my mind
Got [Em]a ticket on the Union Line
[D]I know we'll [A]meet [D]again
on the other side
[G]

[Verse 8]
Good[D]bye brother, hello rail[G]road,
so long, [D]Chicago
[A]All[D] these years,[Bm]
thought I was [A]where I ought to [G]be
But times are changin',
this [Em]country's growin'
And I'm [Bm]bound for San [A]Francisco
Where a new life waits for [D]me

[Verse 9]
Goodbye brother, hel[G]lo railroad,
so long, [D]Chica[A]go[D]
All these [Bm]years,
thought I was [A]where I ought to [G]be
But times are changin',
[D]this [Em]country's growin'
And I'm [Bm]bound for San [A]Francisco

[Outro 1]
Where a new life waits for me
[G][Em]
