About the Song

Coal, oil, gas
None of these shall pass.
Leave it in the ground
And turn the trains around (repeat)

(up 3) Am - - - / Em - Am - :/

Cascadia is a place of great power.
We stand at the mouth of the river,
Rooted to the land & its people,
We turn the trains around (repeat)

Am - - - / D - - Am ://

(sung over the chorus)
We are a people awakening
We are a people reclaiming
We are a people demanding
Turn the trains around!
