Oregon

Am  F  Dm  E7  Am


[Verse 1]
Am
They crossed the Atlantic Ocean
Am
Their boats were made of wood
Am
They landed on the Eastern shore
Am
And found the land was good
Am           F           E7
Most of them settled down
Am
The others pushed across the 
Appalachians
Am
Into the wilderness
Am
Some in wagons some on foot
Am
And horses for the rest
Am            Dm          E7
Yes, some got left behind


[Verse 2]
Am
The others pushed across the 
Mississippi
Am
About a mile wide

Am
To face the great plains thirst and 
hunger
Am
Many many died
Am            Dm         E7
Yes, some got left behind


[Verse 3]
Am
The others pushed across the Rocky 
Mountains
Am
The salt flats of Utah
Am
The waste land of Nevada
Am
And the high Sierra saw
Am            Dm          E7
That some got left behind


[Verse 4]
Am
The others pushed on to California
Am
Those men who knew no rest
Am
The Pacific Ocean stopped
Am
Their restless movement west
Am           F          E7
Most of them settled down
Am
The others turned around

[Verse 5]
Am
Some turned to the South down to 
Mexico
Am
But those people of whose blood I am
Am                         F     E7
They said we go and settle Oregon
Am                                
The people I come from they 
  F     E7
settled Oregon
Am
The people I come from
