I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado.
Mary Chapin Carpenter.
Album: The Music In You. (Tribute)
Capo 3.
(I've transposed up to Capo 3
as she uses a capo a lot.)
Intro: D G A7 G6 D A G D
A A7 G6 D
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado,
A G D
He'd rather spend his time out where the sky,
A G
Looks like a pearl after the rain,
D
Once again I see him walking,
A
Once again I hear him talking,
Bm7 G D A G D
To the stars he makes and asking them the bus fare.
A A7 G6 D
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado,
A G D
He'd rather play his banjo in the morning,
A G
When the moon is scarcely gone,
D
In the dawn the subway's coming,
A
In the dawn I hear him humming,
Bm7 G D
Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon,
A G D
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado.
Break: A G6 D A G D A Baug G D A F#m Bm7 G Bm7 D
A A7 G6 D
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado,
A G D
I guess he'd rather work out where,
D A G
The only thing you earn is what you spend,
D
In the end up in his office,
A Bm7
In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show,
G D
He lives in New York City.
Dade: A A7 G D A G D A D/E G D A G D
(A beautiful version.)
