[Intro with harmonica: D / G / A x2]
[Verse 1]
D G A D
She came from California on the West Coast of the land
G A
San Francisco
D G A D
And he came from the furthest windy shoreline in the East
G A
Massachusetts
[Chorus 1]
G
They met right in the middle
D
At somebody’s wedding
G Asus A
They don’t even remember who it was
[Verse 2]
D G A D
She was a legendary surfer on the waves
G A
Of the wild Pacific
D G A D
And he was a fisherman who’d learned his father’s trade
G A
On the rough Atlantic
[Chorus 2]
G
They met in South Dakota
D
At somebody’s wedding
G Asus A
They won’t ever remember who it was
G
It was love at first sight
D
But they both missed their oceans dearly
G Asus A
They knew this one night would be all there was
[Instrumental]
D G A x2
[Verse 3]
D G A D
Next day, she said “think of me when you’re out on the sea,
G A
And I’ll think of you…”
D G A D
And he said, “guess we’ll always keep the Prairies in our hearts”
G A
Boy was he right…
[Chorus 3]
G
Cause when they flew away
D
In opposite directions
G Asus A
They knew their love was all they’d ever need
G
So when they got back home
D
They set out on the highway
G Asus A
That would lead back to where it all began…
[Bridge]
D
TransAmerica
Em Bm A
Stretching out beneath the endless skies
G A
From coast to coast
D Bm
Through misty forests and wide open spaces
Em A D G A D G A
Across the great heartland tonight
[Verse 4]
D G A D
She drove through the Rocky Mountain passes to the plains:
G A
Big skies and wheat fields
D G A D
And he drove clear across New York and straight past Notre Dame:
G A
Indiana
[Chorus 4]
G
They met back in the middle
D
And they had a wedding
G Asus A
This time they will remember whose it was
G
There they settled
D
Two thousand miles away from either ocean…
G Asus A
Sometimes we sacrifice these things for love.
