[D]

[Verse 1]
When [G]I was
a young [Am]man [G]in S[C]weetwater, Tex[G]as[D]
[Em]Just one thing stayed on my [D]mind
To [G]ride a white horse,
[Am]over[G] Duran[C]go Mount[G]ain
And leave [Em]Sweetwater, [D]Texas behind
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
[G]But [Am]I turned [G]21, in [C]Sweetwater, [G]Texas
[D]But jus[Em]t one thing made me stay the[D]re
I [G]wanted to [Am]leave
[G]but I w[C]as in love[G] with
[D]The gir[Em]l with the[D] chestnut brown hai[G]r

[Verse 3]
[C]Then came a [D]time,
when [Bm]she said she'd be [Em]mine
And [C]go any place, any [Am]time[D]
So we [G]rode a gray dog,
[Am]over[G] Duran[C]go Mount[G]ain
And left [Em]Sweetwater [D]Texas behind

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em]
[G][Am][Bm][Am][G][C][D][G][C][D][C]

[Verse 4]
It was [G]thunderin' and light[Am]nin'
[G]when we [C]left Nolan [G]County
The [Em]bus rolled along through t[D]he night[Em]
[D]And Old[G] 36,[Am] was [G]the magi[C]c black
[G][In[Em] comprehensible]
Leading towards [D]the stadium [G]lights

[Verse 5]
[G]Well [Em]we pu[G]lled into Hou
[Am]s to[G]n at ten[C] in the mo[G]rning
Our [Em]hopes were a high as [D]the sky
But [G]hope turned to weeks,
[Am]then[G] to ye[C]ars, then fore[G]ver
I never [Em]knew how [D]fast time [G]goes by

[Verse 6]
[C]Cowboys in [D]cars and [Bm]country
girls [Em]in bars
[C]Somehow, it just don't [Am]seem [D]fair,
And [G]I wanted to die 'cause
I [C]knew I was [G]losing,
[Em]The girl with [D]the chestnut brown [G]hair[Bm]
[B]

[Interlude 2]
[E][A][D][A][F#m][E]
[A][D][A][F#m][E][A]

[Verse 7]
So [D]many times I've [E]said,
I'd [C#m]rather be [F#m]dead,
Than [D]take it down and go back[E],
and [C#m]unclear my [F#m]head
[A]But if the goo[D]d Lord sees his way[E]
to let me [C#m]live one more d[F#m]ay
I'm [D]so tired of being alone
[Bm]

[Verse 8]
[E]
Gonna [A]ride a white horse
over [D]Durango [A]Mountain
And make [F#m]Sweetwater,
[E]Texas my [A]home
