Biography:
Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."
Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on seven critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, and two released under the name Dave Rawlings Machine.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I edited this from daveb672's tab of Townes' version.
NOTE: the 'F' in the chorus is optional. It's not in Gillian's version but you can fit it in,
otherwise just hold the 'G'.
CAPO 1
C
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.
CHORUS:
C F C
It's snowin' on Raton
G (F) 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.
CHORUS: C F C
G (F) C
[Solo - same as verse but play C G C in fourth line]
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.
CHORUS: C F C
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.
CHORUS: x2 C F C
G(F)C
