D   G  A  4X

D                        G              A
Stepped off the train, looked into the sky
        D                     G         A
It was deepening blue as the moon was rising
D                         G             A
Had time to kill, and a letter to send her
D                      G     A        D  G  A
One lonely boy on my first night in Denver

           D             G     A 
I hit the sidewalks and kept moving
D                              G          A
Through late night streets, filled with music
D                     G              A
From dusk til dawn, tryin to forget her
  D                         G      A       D
A man with a mission on my first night in Denver

       G          A          Bm
This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake
D         A      D
But I’ve got forever
      G            A        Bm
The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again
       G           Em      Em/F# G
It was my turn, a lesson I learned
              A        D
On my first night in Denver

      D        G       A 
In a diner, I met a soldier
      D                      G        A
Just left his wife and kids back in Boulder
      D                   G      A
The facts of life for a young defender
     D                             G      A       D
He showed me their pictures on my first night in Denver

       G          A          Bm
This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake
D         A      D
But I’ve got forever
      G            A        Bm
The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again
       G           Em      Em/F# G
It was my turn, a lesson I learned
              A        D   G  A   D   G  A 
On my first night in Denver

D                    G      A 
Back on the train, headed westbound
   D                   G      A 
To new horizons, with what I know now
     D              G         A
The sun came up, I sent the letter
      D                              G      A        D
And wished her a good life, from my first night in Denver

       G          A          Bm
This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake
D         A      D
But I’ve got forever
      G            A        Bm
The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again
       G           Em      Em/F# G
It was my turn, a lesson I learned
              A        D
On my first night in Denver

D   G   A  (until end of song)
