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