A             F#m7           D         E
Train wheels runnin' down an open track
A      F#m7           D          E
In my mem'ry time to take me back
         F#m7         E
Are you goin are you goin'

Chorus:
  A       E          D
To Santa Fe. Do you need it
         E              A        E
Can you feel it in the same old way
D                       A
I can feel it from the mountain top
         D                  A
Runnin' down to the foamy brine
D                        A
In a rest'rant 'cross a table top
 D                       E
Looking into a glass of wine.

Whispering in the evening breeze
Green leaves, glistenin' eucalyptus trees
Can you hear them or get near them?

Chorus:
Oh, Santa Fe
Do you need it?
Oh, can you feel it in the same old way?

I can feel it, oh, when it all goes down, yeah baby
Look around and it's happening, uh huh
Oh, look around and see what I have found
And it's more than a song to sing

Bm7
In the night I hear you calling
C#m7
And I'm thinkin' about,
      E7
I'm thinkin' about you, oh darlin'

Chorus:
Santa Fe
Do you need it?
Oh, can you feel it in the same old way?

I can feel it, I can feel it when it all goes down
Look around and it's happening
Baby, look around and see what I have found
And it's more than a song to sing

And it's more than a song to sing
Well, it's more, more, more than a song to sing
Yes, it's more than a song to sing

And it goes out, and it comes back
It is a feeling, it's a feelin'
And when you do it
And the more you do it
And the more you do it
It becomes a beautiful obsession
A beautiful obsession now
A beautiful, a beautiful obsession, obsession, yeah

It's a feelin'
It's a feelin'
It's a feelin'
In your heart, in your soul
In your being, yeah
It's a, it's a beautiful obsession
And it makes you feel

And it's more, more than a song to sing
It's more, more, more than a song to sing
Let the cowboy ride
Let the cowboy ride
Let the cowboy ride
Oh, it's more, more than a song to sing
And it's more
