Introduction:
G C
Now when the wind don't blow in Amarillo,
G C
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise,
F C
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe,
C F C
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes.
C F C
It's snowin' on Raton
G C
Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone.
G C
Ah, bid the years good-bye, you cannot still them,
G C
Like you cannot still the circles of the sun,
F C
And you cannot count the miles until you feel them,
C F C
And you cannot hold a lover that is gone.
G C
Oh Mother thinks the road is long and lonely,
G C
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine,
F C
Little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely,
C F C
I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine.
G(F) C
Solo - as above
G C
Well, tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
G C
Silent 'neath a blanket green and blue
F C
Ah, but I shall hear the silence they are keeping
C F C
I'll bring all their promises to you.
