G D C G
When I was a young man in Sweetwater Texas
G C D
Just one thing stayed on my mind
G D C G
To ride a white horse over Durango mountain
C G
And leave Sweetwater Texas behind
D C G
But I turned twenty one there in Sweetwater Texas
C D
Just one thing made me stay there
G D C G
I wanted to leave, but I was in love
Em C G
The girl with the chestnut brown hair
C D
And there came a time,
G C
when she said shed be mine
Em C D
And go any place any time
G D C G
So we rode a grey dog over Durango mountain
C D G
And left Sweetwater Texas behind
SOLO
G D C G G D C G G D C G
G D C G
It was thundering and lightning when we left Nolan County
G C D
The bus rolled along through the night
G C G
And old 36 was a magic black demon
G D G
leading towards the citys bright lights
G D C G
we pulled into Houston at ten in the morning
G C D
our hopes were as high as the sky
G D C G
but hopes turn to weeks, then years, then forever
Em D G
I never knew how fast time goes by
C D
And cowboys sellin cars
G C
And country girls in bars
Em C D
Somehow just don’t seem fair
G D C G
And I wanted to die cause I knew I was loosing
C D G
The girl with the chestnut brown hair
SOLO
G D C G G D C G
C D
So many times I said
G C
Id rather be dead
C D
Than take downs to go to bed
G C
And ups to clear my head
D
But If the good lord sees his way
G C
To let me live one more day
Em (HOLD) D
Im so tired of being alone
G D C G
Gonna ride a white horse over Durango mountain
C D G
And make Sweetwater Texas my home.
