Coast chords by Shane Smith & the Saints Guitar Chords
[Intro]
Dm Bb F C/E (x2)
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb
Way down South where the highland fades
F C/E
There’s a poor man working in a rice filled maze
Dm Bb
And a barefoot boy, on a jetty plank
F C/E
As he walks into the gulf
Dm Bb
And a lighthouse shining out to the sea
F C/E
To the shrimper staring in disbelief
Dm Bb
At the mermaid saying he’s gotta believe
F C/E
That light will take him home
[Chorus]
Bb
And by the Mississippi River
F
There’s a Southbound train
C/E Gm
And it’s headed for the gulf
Bb F
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
C/E Gm
‘Til I know I’m getting close
Bb
See me running down the alleyway
F
Looking for the jetties
C/E Gm
Searching for my soul
Bb
You know
F C/E
Ooooh oh
C/E Dm Bb F C/E
I’m headed for the coast
Dm Bb F C/E
For the coast
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb
Too many young people trying to run their lives
F C/E
Too many rich folks trying to change their mind
Dm
I’m tired of the hustle
Bb
Get out of the bustle
F C/E
Every time I see the light
Dm Bb
Tell me baby, can you feel my soul?
F C/E
I’m rolling with the rhythm on cruise control
Dm Bb
I got three chords and I speak the truth
F C/E
To Willie Nelson, that’s a country song
[Chorus]
Bb
And by the Mississippi River
F
There’s a Southbound train
C/E Gm
And it’s headed for the gulf
Bb F
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
C/E Gm
‘Til I know I’m getting close
Bb
See me running down the alleyway
F
Looking for the jetties
C/E Gm
Searching for my soul
Bb
You know
F C/E
Ooooh oh
C/E Dm Bb F C/E
I’m headed for the coast
Dm Bb F C/E
For the coast
[Instrumental]
