(intro)
A Asus4 Asus4 A (2x)
A Asus4 / A
Sing songs of the sunrise into the nigh
A Asus4 / A
the stars as a timepiece make it all right
A Asus4 / A
Make friends with the darkness, talk to the moon
A Asus4
and when the light lifts,
Asus4 A A/g# A/f# A/e D D/c# E (Esus4)
you can let out a tune
A Asus4 / A
Then to the mountains, climbed through the sky
A Asus4 / A
They showed there their whiteness, watched their gold fly
A Asus4 / A
Shared in their treasures, shook at their might
A Asus4 / C ( walkdown #2)
Spoke softly in wonders... cowboy's delight
(walkdown #2 : my best attempt at transcribing what is
probably a two-guitar part)
