Tuning:
I'm submitting the chords rather than the tab because it would take a lifetime to properly tab out ;D
But I'm sure you'll get the gist of it after listening to it a couple of times.
Note for the Bm chord - he often uses the typical bass note progression (F# - A - B) to tie it all up.
Similarly when going into the G chord, he climbs up to it (E - F# - G). You'll notice it throughout the song.
[Intro]
Bm G E7
[Verse]
BmSun went careening G
over the ceiling
and E7crashed onto the Bmplains
set Gfire to the A7amber waves of Bmgrain
BmThe moon it dancesG over acres and fences
and E7waltzes down into Bmthe water
Gsounds like the A7ring that I Bmbought her
[Pre-chorus]
GThere's a gal in DCalifornia
F#7see her when I get off this Bmrail
Gsent her one last A7letter in the Bmmail
[Chorus]
Will you Gwait for me, by the Dblue oak tree
will you F#7marry me?
I know GI've been gone and this Drail road's long
but I F#7built it for to carry Bmyou a ring
[Verse]
BmTwelve hour daysG for minimum wage
and I'll E7carry every penny back to BmSacramento
GThis black cherry A7yard will let me Bmswing home
BmJust a railroad manG with railroad hands
and I E7built this track to build you a Bmhome
GI just built you a A7place to be Bmalone
[Pre-chorus]
All tGhe way to Promontory
I Dwrote a lover's story
andF#7 I'm coming back for to Bmfulfill
the Gpromises my A7letters did Bmreveal
[Chorus]
Will you Gwait for me, by the Dblue oak tree
will you F#7marry me?
I know GI've been gone and this Drail road's long
but I F#7built it for to carry Bmyou a ring
Will you Gwait for me, by the Dblue oak tree
will you F#7marry me?
Oh GI've been gone and this Drailroads gone
But I F#7built it for to carry you a Bmring
But I F#7built it for to carry you a Bmring
But I F#7built it for to carry you a Bmring
