Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I often have wan[G]dered in[A][Bm]
[G]deep contempla[D]tion[G]
[A]It seems that [Bm]the mind [A]runs [G]wild when
you're all [A]alone[Asus4][A]
The [G]way that it [D]could [G]be
The [Asus4]ways that it s[D]hould be[G]
[Asus4]Thing's I'd do d[Bm]iffere[A]ntly[G]
if I [Asus4]could do the[A]m again
[D]

[Verse 2]
I've always loved [G]spring [A]time,
[Bm]the [G]passing of winte[D]r[G]
[A]The green of [Bm]the new [A]leaves [G]and
life going [A]on[Asus4][A]
The promise of [D]morning[G]
[Asus4]The long [A]day[D]s of [G]summer
[A]Warm nights of [Bm]lov i[A]ng h[G]er be
[A]neath the bright stars
[D]

[Verse 3]
I'm just an old [G]cow[A]boy[Bm]
from [G]high Color[D]ado[G]
[Asus4]Too old t[A]o ri[Bm]de anymo[A]re,[G]
too blind [A]to see
[Asus4]I sleep in t[D]he city n[G]ow
[Asus4]Away from my m[A]oun[D]tains[G]
[Asus4]Away from the [Bm]cab in[A][G]
we [A]always [D]called home

[Verse 4]
[G]
[A]I dream I l[D]eft t[G]here
On an [Asus4]old Palom[A]ino[D][G][A]
Whispering [Bm]Jesse [A]rod[G]e right by my side[A]
I long [D]to [G]hold her
To [Asus4]hear her soft[A] brea[D]thing[G]
[A]The touch of her [Bm]cool [A]hands [G]on my [A]fevered

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
Whispering [D]Jesse [G]still rid[A]es
in the moun[D]tains[G]
Still [Asus4]sing s in[A] the canyo[D]ns[G]
Still [A]lives in my [D]heart
