[C] And the wife he left [D] on Cedar [G] Creek, with that [Em] old ranch to run
[C] She sweats and [D] strains from break of day [G] until the setting [Em] sun
She [C] stares across [D] the valley and [G] she [A] says, I'd [Em] like to know
[C] But the only ones a-talking [D] are them damned old winds that blow
[G] Out in western Colorado, where the Cedar Creek [C] winds blow
From [G] the summit [Em] of the Sarawak [Am] to the valley [D] far below
[G] At Uncompahgle Valley, it's still talked about [C] today
[G] How they never found the body [F] of the cowboy, [G] Penny Gray
The last day of May, in the year of [C]
78
He [G] vanished [Em] from the sight of man, [Am] no one [D] knows his fate
[G] It's hard to count his enemies, hard [C] to count his friends
And [G] either way, no one can say [F] who brought him [G] to his end
[C] And those Cedar [D] Creek winds, [G] they come and fade [Em] away
Howling [G] and whispering, [F] and they [Am] seem to [G] say that they're searching
[D] Always searching, [F] searching [D] for the [Em] bones of Penny Gray
He [G]
was a husband and a father, and a purely [C] dangerous man
[G] He got cross-eyed [Em] with the law one time for chasing the wrong [D] ranch
[G] He had his reputation, the folks who knew [C] him say
[G] Never had a better neighbor than [F] the cowboy, [G] Penny Gray
He rode the mountain valleys where the sand guns [C] touch the sky
[G] Black Canyon [Em] of the Gunnison, that [Am] old blue [D] Mesa high
[G] Saponero and the Blues, and the little [C] old Cimarron
[G] His shadow may still cross them, [F] but Penny [G]
Gray's gone
