[Intro]
A E A E
[Verse 1]
A E A
It's a long way from Salt Lake to Denver
E A
Bummin' the D N R G
D A F#m
The moonlight falls on the water
D E
It lights up the rocks and the trees
[Verse 2]
A E A E
You follow the wide Colorado
A E A
Till it narrows down into a stream
D A F#m
Train whistle sings a slow lullaby
D E
You're riding along in a dream
[Chorus]
D A
Rock me to sleep on your bosom
D A
Hold me close to your breast
D A F#m
Don't leave me alone on the cold city streets
D E
Come on and find me a track headed west
[Verse 3]
D A
I'm tired of the big operators
D A
And tired of the music machine
D A F#m
I'm sick of singing for nickels and dimes
D E
And the times are always so lean
[Verse 4]
A E A
It's a long way from no place to somewhere
E A
Bumming those good years away
D A F#m
Tonight I'm feelin so lonesome and cold
D E
Maybe I'll find it someday
[Chorus]
D A
Rock me to sleep on your bosom
D A
Hold me close to your breast
D A F#m
Don't leave me alone on the cold city streets
D E
Come on and find me a track headed west
[Instrumental]
