[Intro 1]
[D][A][E][Bm][A][Bm][D][Bm][E][D][A]
[C#][F#m][Bm]
[G][E]

[Verse 1]
On my [A]way to [E]the Tel[Bm]luride sawmill [A]today
I [Bm]thought of an [D]old friend
who'd [Bm]long gone [E]away
[D]He took [A]to travelin' when
[C#]he turned seven[F#m]teen
And [Bm]I stayed at ho[G]me with a family
[E]

[Verse 2]
[A]A collector of [E]dreams was
my [Bm]old f[D]riend[A]
[Bm]He talked about [D]the times
yet [Bm]to come[E]
But [D]I took t[A]o workin' at t[C#]he
Tellur[F#m]ide sawmill
And I've [Bm]been there since I
[G]turned twenty- one
[E]

[Verse 3]
And the [D]river keeps [A]rollin' past
[C#]the south county [F#m]line
I'd [Bm]love to roll [D]with it,
but I've [Bm]run out of [E]time
The [D]days roll [A]by like the
[C#]logs at the [D]river[Bm]
And I know I ain't [G]gettin'
[Em]no younger.[E]

[Verse 4]
We were [A]kids growin' [E]up in the
[Bm]Rockies[A]
[Bm]When the mountains were
[D]young and so [Bm]free[E]
[D]He was my [A]friend and my [C#]equal[F#m]
Though in [Bm]years he was young[G]er by three
[E]

[Verse 5]
We grew [A]up in [E]the usual fash[Bm]ion,[A]
Never [Bm]wantin' to [D]grow up at [Bm]all,[E]
But [D]I found a[A] family and
[C#]he found the r[F#m]ails.
He [Bm]left on [G]the train for St. Paul.
[E]

[Verse 6]
And the [D]river keeps [A]rollin' past
[C#]the south county [F#m]line.
I'd [Bm]love to roll [D]with it,
but I've [Bm]run out of [E]time.
The [D]days roll [A]by like the [C#]logs at the [D]river,
And I [Bm]don't often [G]think of my [E]old friend.

[Verse 7]
Mister [D]Preacher,
can you [A]give me an [C#]answer?[F#m]
Lord, [Bm]I can't go on [D]this way[Bm].[E][D]
I'm gettin' [A]old,
and I [C#]don't feel so good.
Have [D]I j[Bm]ust been w[G]astin'
my time?
[E]

[Verse 8]
Telluride, Telluride,
[A]Have [D]I j[A]ust[C#][F#m][Bm]
been [G]wastin' my time?
[E]
