Have you seen old Dick?
[Ab] He rode in this [Eb]
morning, [Ab] rode in [Eb] from Nevada, [F] 400 [Bb]
miles.
[C] [Eb] His horses are gathered [Ab] and he's looking [Eb] rough, [Ab] said he's [Eb] had enough, he's [Bb] gonna camp [Eb] here a while.
The
[C] [Eb] willows are growing [Ab] in [Eb] Beaverdale Meadow, [Ab] the [Eb] cascades are rolling, [F] the water [Bb] is high.
[Eb] The crossings are deep, they [Ab] plumb over [Eb] your stirrup, [Ab] but sweeter [Eb] than [Bb] syrup, when you're [Eb] peeling dry.
[Bb] And how are things [Ab] in Old [Eb] McGee Canyon, how are those mountains [Bb] I knew?
[Eb] I dreamed so [Ab] long of Old McGee [Eb] Canyon, [Ab] saddle my [Eb] pony, [Bb] I'm gonna ride it through.
[C]
[Eb] The cottonwood [Ab] trees, their leaves are [Eb] like laughter, [Ab] they dapple [Eb] the stream with [F] the sun shining [Bb] [Fm] through.
[Bb]
[C] [Eb] The trails are rough and narrow, up through the boulders, [Ab] oh I'm getting [Eb]
older, [Bb] I'll be better [Eb] than new.
[Bb] And how are things [Ab] in Old [Eb] McGee Canyon, how are those [C] mountains I knew?
[F] [Eb] I dreamed so [Ab] long of Old [Eb] McGee Canyon, [Ab] gonna saddle [Eb] my pony, [Bb]
I'm gonna ride [Eb] it through.
I rode off one day [Ab] to follow [Eb] a star, [Ab] too often [Eb] those stars [F] just ain't what [Bb] they seem.
[Fm] [Bb]
[Eb]
Brought out my [Ab] mules and packed [Eb] up my loads, and I threw me a diamond [Bb] plum over [Eb] my dreams.
[Bb] And how are things [F] in Old [Eb] McGee Canyon, how are those [C] mountains [Bb] I knew?
[Eb] I dreamed so [Ab] long of Old [Eb] McGee Canyon, [Ab] saddle [Eb] my pony, I'm [Bb] gonna ride [Eb] it through.
[Bb] And how are things [Ab] in Old [Eb] McGee Canyon, how are those mountains [Bb] I knew?
[Eb] I dreamed so [Ab] long of Old [Eb] McGee Canyon, [Ab] gonna saddle [Eb] my pony, [Bb] I'm gonna ride [Eb] it through.
Have you seen old Dick?
[Ab] He rode in [Eb] this morning, [Ab] rode in [Eb] from Nevada, [Bb]
400 [Eb] miles.
