[A]
If I could roll back the years, [D] back when I was young and limber,
[A] Loose as ashes in the wind, [Bm] I had no [E] irons in the fire,
[C#m] And I could ride them wild young [D] Broncos, the adrenaline came quickly,
And [A] one acre down at the moment was [E] my only heart's [A] desire.
We were living for the moment, and [D] the sunlight on my silver bits,
[A] The ringing of my jingle bobs was [Bm] the music of [E] my soul.
[C#m] In the alley back of Mona's, I held [D] Juanita in the shadows,
[A] How we held on to each other, [E] and the loving that [A] we stole.
[Bm] And the sighing of [E] the pines, [A] up here near the [D] timberline,
Make me wish I'd done things differently, but wishing don't make it [A] so.
[Bm] Oh, the time has passed [E] so quick, [A] the years all run together now,
[D] Did I hold Juanita yesterday, or was it fifty years [E] ago?
[A]
[D] [A]
[E] [A]
If I would have quit them Broncos, [D] I'd have quit that business,
[A] But that was back in the fast days, you [Bm] know, before [E] the wire,
[C#m] I bet I could still find her, [D] and I bet she's still as pretty as when [A] she's Juanita,
Down at Mona's, [E] and my only heart's [A] desire.
[Bm] And the sighing [E] of the pines, [A] up here near the timberline,
[D] Make me wish I'd done things differently, but wishing don't make [A] it so.
[Bm] Oh, the time has passed [E] so quick, [A] the years all run together now,
[D] Did I hold Juanita yesterday, or was it fifty [E] years ago?
[Bm] And the sighing [G#] of the [C#m] pines, up here near the [D] timberline,
Make me wish I'd done things differently, but wishing don't make [A] it so.
