CAPO 3
First G is picked for 2 beats, rest of chords strummed for 4.
[Intro]
When the wind don t blow in Amarillo,
And the moon along the Gunnison don t rise,
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe,
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes.
[CHORUS]
It was snowin on Raton,
Come morning, I ll be through them hills and gone.
[D G]
Mother thinks the road is long and lonely,
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine,
And my darling thinks the road is soft and lovely,
I m thankful that old road s a friend of mine.
[CHORUS]
It was snowin on Raton,
Come morning,I ll be through them hills and gone.
[D G]
Bid the years good-bye, you cant still them,
No you cant turn the circles of the sun,
And you cant count the miles until you feel them,
And you sure cant hold a lover that is gone.
[CHORUS]
It was snowin on Raton,
Come morning,I ll be through them hills and gone.
[ ](just like verse)
Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
The silent neath a blanket green and blue
C (let ring) G
All I shall hear the silence they are keeping
And I ll bring all their promises to you.
[CHORUS X2]
It was snowin on Raton,
Come morning,I ll be through them hills and gone.
Outro: strum last D once.
Yeah,come morning,I ll be through them hills and gone.
