Down Along The Sleepy Rio Grande Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Here [G]I[C][G][A][D]
[G]sit a
-dreamin' [C]of the western plains
And the [G]days I [D]spent
along the Rio [G]Grande
A -dreamin' of my saddle days
and the [C]pony I used to ride
As I [G]guarded the [D]herd
that wore the Barracks [G]brand
I'd like to be a -ridin'
[C]over the plains to[G]night
[A]Down along the [D]sleepy Rio [G]Grande
And see the lazy cattle in
[C]the pale moonlig[G]ht,[A]
As they're gallop o 'er the [D]sand.
Where the stars light up the trail
that [G]leads the way to home,
[A]Tumbleweeds are rolling
over [D]every sandy dome,
I'd [G]like to be a -riding
[C]over the plains to[G]night,
[A]Down along the [D]sleepy Rio [G]Grande.[D][G][C][G][A]
[D][G][D][G][C][G]
[A][D][G]
[A][D][G][C][G]
[A][D][G]
[D]I l[G]ong to hear t[D]he whistle of
[C]the whippoorwil[C#dim]l
And to [G]hear the bobwhite [D]callin' to his [G]maid
I long to hear the clink of my spurs
as [C]gallop along the trail
I [G]should be there [D]and it's
mighty hard to [G]wait
I'd like to be a -ridin'
[C]over the plains to[G]night
[A]Down along the [D]sleepy Rio [G]Grande
And see the lazy cattle in
[C]the pale moonlig[G]ht
[A]As I gallop o 'er the [D]sand
Where the stars light up the trail
that [G]leads the way to home
[A]Tumbleweeds a -rollin'
over [D]every sandy dome
I'd [G]like to be a -ridin'
[C]over the plains tonight
[G]Down [A]along the sle[D]epy Rio Grande
[G]
