Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is the right tab, my first tab!!!
It sounds good, this is a beautiful forgotten song of the marvellous Jim Croce,
from the lost LP "Facets".
With the voice of the wife Ingrid Croce.
It is perfect for a duet.

G D G C
The railroads and the riverboats that bred the mighty man
G D C D
That we read about and we dream about, the men who built this land
G D G C
And the farmers and the lumbermen and the men who worked the mills
G D C D
And the poor hard working miners who died inside the hills
G C
While the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
And the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
And the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
And nature is calling, no one's listening to her
G D G C
And the immigrants by the boat load in a dozen different tones
G D C D
Sang of freedom in the new land, climbed the ladder rung by rung
G D G C
Some to Boston, some to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and St. Paul
G D C D
And the old ways led to new days, they were welcome one and all
G C
While the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
And the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
And the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
And nature is calling, no one's listening to her
G D G C
With the railroads and the riverboats and the bread lines far behind
G D C D
And the days we sang together, long gone but still in mind
G D G C
And the men who came before us, men who brought us to today
G D C D
And the story still unravels from the dreams of yesterday
G C
While the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
And the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
And the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
And nature is calling, no one's listening to her

And nature is calling, no one's listening to her
