David Francey - Ashtabula
INTRO: G
Kelli drove us down the lake
C
On a bright Ohio day
G
And we looked across the railway yards
D
At the hoppers painted grey
G
That coal train from Kentucky, man
C
She's come a long, long way
G
Down in Ashtabula
D G G6 G
On a sunny summer's day
Walked down to the harbour
C
Down to the harbour side
G
Where the coal was piled up waiting
D
High and black and wide
G
And it's waiting for a laker, man
C
To carry it away
G
Down in Ashtabula
D G G6 G
On a sunny summer's day
CHORUS:
C
And the tilting bridge, itself swings back
G
And sail is given way
C
And the cobbled streets that climb the hills
G D
Are fading red to grey
G
In the maritime museum
C
So high above the waves
G
The pictures of the past recalled
D
In black and white and grey
G
But the Masters and the ships are gone
D
Long since passed away
G
Down in Ashtabula
D G G6 G
On a sunny summers day
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G C G D G
