         D                  G
When the wind don't blow in Amarillo,
        D                             G
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise,
 C                               G
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe,
    G               D                G
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes.

Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone.

Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine,
       C                                   G
And my darling thinks the road is soft and lovely,
    G             D                      G
I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine.

D                                 G
Bid the years good-bye, you cant still them,
    D                               G
No you cant turn the circles of the sun,
    C                                  G
And you cant count the miles until you feel them,
    G                    D             G
And you sure cant hold a lover that is gone.

D G D G C G G D G (just like verse)

D                              G
Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
D                                    G
The silent 'neath a blanket green and blue
C (let ring)                          G
All I shall hear the silence they are keeping
    G                    D           G    
And I'll bring all their promises to you.
