Fans of Eilen will probably know and love this song, and I'm definitely one of them, so I took a crack at transcribing the chords. I'm a novice and new to guitar, so I apologise if they are too basic/incorrect! Hopefully someone else can expand on these. Happy playing/singing :) Elja. You picked up a broken bottle In case anyone gave us any trouble And we walked all the way back to Cortez You sang help me dear doctor At the top of your lungs You'd been soaking up drink like a sponge Little boy down the street We all heard you mournfully Call again and again for Roberta Rober - ta… Rober - ta… The mountain towns burned red Consumed by a sunset I'd be happy disappearing under colors like that And I fell in love with trains, Haunted by the old refrain You ride the Southern, I'll ride the Santa Fe Santa Fe… Santa Fe… It was wrong of me to leave 'Cause I couldn't stand a perfect thing But I was too young to know any better And I'd give the world if it were mine To let these memories slip my mind And wake up next to you one more time One more… One more time… One more … One more time…
