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

             D     G   D
Well, it's snowin' on Raton. 
       A               G                     D
Come mornin' I'll be through them hills and gone.
                  G   D
When it's snowin' on Raton,
       A               G                      D
Come mornin' I'll be through them hills and gone.

        A                                  D
Well, mother thinks the road is long and lonely,
  A                                             D
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine,
         G                                   D
Little darlin' thinks the road is soft and lovely,
                            G                   D
Hey, I'm thankful that ole road is a friend of mine.

      A                                  D
Well bid the years goodbye, you cannot still them
      A                             D
You cannot turn the circles of the sun
      A                               D
You cannot count the miles until you feel them
                       G
And you cannot hold a lover that is gone.

        A                              D
Well Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
 A                              D
Silently the blanket green and blue
             G                          D
But I shall hear the silence they are keeping
                            G         D
And I'll bring all their promises to you.
