[Bm] [G]
[C] [D] [C]
[G] When I was [Am] a young man [C] in [G] Sweetwater, Texas, [Em] just one thing stayed on [D] my mind.
[G] To ride a white horse [C] over Durango [G] Mountain [F#m] and leave [Em] Sweetwater, [D] Texas [G] behind.
But I turned [E] 21, there [C] in [G] Sweetwater, Texas, [Em] but just one thing made me stay there.
[G] I wanted to leave, [C] but I was in [G] love with [Em] a girl [D] with the chestnut [G] brown hair.
[C] There came [D] a time [Bm] when she said she'd [Em] be mine,
[C] growing in place in [Am] a time.
[D]
So [G] we rode a grey dog [C] over Durango [G] Mountain
and [Em] left [D] Sweetwater, Texas [G] behind.

[Am] [Bm] [G]
[C] [D]
[C] [G] was thundering and [Am] lightning and [C] we left no one [G] to count.
[Em] The bus rolled along [D] through the night.
[G] And over 36 [C] was a magic [G] black ribbon
[Em] leading [D] toward the city's [G] bright lights.
We pulled into Houston [C] at 10 [G] in the morning.
[Em] Our hopes were as high as [D] the sky.
[G] But hopes turned [A] to weeks, [Bm] then [C] to years, and then [D] forever.
[Em] I never knew [D] how fast [G] time goes by.
[Bm] [C] And cowboys set [D] up carts [Bm] and country [Em] girls in [G] cars.
[C]
Somehow, it just don't [Am] seem fair.
[D] [G] And I wanted to die, [C] cause I knew I [G] was losing [Em] the girl [D] with the [G] chestnut brown hair.

The [D] day's passed, I'm coming [E] back, [C#m] and I'm clear in [F#m] my head.
But if [D] the good Lord [E] sees his way, then [C#m] let me live one [F#m] more day.
[D] I'm so tired of being [Bm] alone.
[E] [A] Gonna ride a white horse [D] over Durango [A] Mountain
and [F#m] make [E] Sweetwater, Texas [A] my home.
