Bm/G# - 2X4432


Capo 2

       Am                       G 
Find myself lookin' down on the canyon
        Am                       G
But the next one's the same as before
    Am                            G             C  
The trail's so damn rocky and the sun's so damn hot
        C                        D 
I don't know where I'm headed anymore

     Am                         G    
It's hard to remember the first time I drew my gun
    Am                  G
The faces return in the night
    Am                     G          C 
The past is all echoes and shadows anymore
          C                     D  
I think I lost my taste for the fight


Chorus:
G           Am7         C        G
That is the fate of the old desperado
           G         Am7                C          D
Better the angels to claim you than the long ride alone
Bm            Bm/G#    G          C
Someone would long ago found El Dorado
   G                    D          G  
So luck to you, cowboy, I'm movin' on


Play your cards as they lay on the table
Should've ended a long time ago
The only place that ever really mattered to me
Was the one place I just couldn't go
And the stars, when they shine, how they light up the night
Smell the rain comin' in on the wind
Though my eyes are so heavy, I remember tonight
When the world was just waitin' to begin

Chorus


Bridge:
        C
But the easy will blind you
    C/B
The road will unwind you
   Bb                     D   
Remind you how far you've gone


Am                          G
He closed his eyes from the heavens
    Am                         G
His breathing slowed down to a crawl
    Am                      G          C 
The clouds opened up like a dam broken down
           C                          D 
And I just sat there and let the rain fall


Chorus
