Chord/Tab song: Railroads and Riverboats

This is my first tab!!!
It sounds good, this is a beautiful forgotten song of the marvellous Jim Croce.

CAPO 2

[G]The railroads and the rive[D]rboats that [G]bred the mighty ma[C]n
That we [G]read about and we [D]dream about, the[C] men who built this la[D]nd
And the [G]farmers and the lu[D]mbermen and the[G] men who worked the mill[D]s
And the [G]poor hard working [D]miners who[C] died inside the hill[D]s

While the rivers that [G]flow are the blood of our lan[C]d
And the trucks they keep r[D]umbling on the great concrete ba[G]nd
And the railroads keep [G]pushing to be all they once wer[C]e
And nature is [D]calling, no one's listening to he[G]r

And the [G]immigrants by the boat loa[D]d in a [G]dozen different tone[C]s
Sang of f[G]reedom in the new l[D]and, climbed th[C]e ladder rung by ru[G]ng
Some to [G]Boston, some to [D]Pittsburgh, Phila[G]delphia and St. Pa[C]ul
And the old [G]ways led to new [D]days, they [C]were welcome one and a[G]ll


While the rivers that [G]flow are the blood of our lan[C]d
And the trucks they keep r[D]umbling on the great concrete ba[G]nd
And the railroads keep [G]pushing to be all they once wer[C]e
And nature is [D]calling, no one's listening to he[G]r

With the ra[G]ilroads and the r[D]iverboats and the [G]bread lines far behi[C]nd
And the d[G]ays we sang to[D]gether, long [C]gone but still in mi[G]nd
And the m[G]en who came b[D]efore us, men who [G]brought us to today[C]
And the s[G]tory still u[D]nravels from the[C] dreams of yesterda[G]y


While the rivers that [G]flow are the blood of our lan[C]d
And the trucks they keep r[D]umbling on the great concrete ba[G]nd
And the railroads keep [G]pushing to be all they once wer[C]e
And nature is [D]calling, no one's listening to he[G]r
And nature is [D]calling, no one's listening to he[G]r
