Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
When the wind don't blow in Amarillo,
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise,
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe,
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes.
Chorus
It was snowin' on Raton,
Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone.
Mother thinks the road is long and lonely,
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine,
And my darling thinks the road is soft and lovely,
I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine.
Chorus
It was snowin' on Raton,
Come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone.
Bid the years good-bye, you cant still them,
No you cant turn the circles of the sun,
And you cant count the miles until you feel them,
And you sure cant hold a lover that is gone.
Chorus
It was snowin' on Raton,
Come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone.
Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
The silent 'neath a blanket green and blue
All I shall hear the silence they are keeping
And I'll bring all their promises to you.
Chorus x2
It was snowin' on Raton,
Come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone.
Outro
strum last D once.
Yeah,come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone.
