My Proud Mountains Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

  GMy home is ColCorado with her proud mountains Gtall

  Where the rivers, like gypsies, down her bClack canyons Gfall

  Well I'm a long way from Denver with a Clong way to Dgo

  So lend an Cear to my sGingin', 'causeC I'll be back no Gmore.

Well I left as a young man, not full seventeen

With nothin' for comp'ny but the wind and a dream

'Bout all the fast ladies and the livin' I'd find

When I left My Proud Mountains and rivers behind.

So I roamed and I rambled like a leaf in the wind

Well I found my fast ladies and some hard livin' men

I sometimes went hungry with my pockets all bare

Lord I sometimes had good luck with money to spare.

Well I made me some friends Lord, that I won't soon forget

Well some are down under and some are ramblin' yet

But as for me, well I'm headed for home

Back to high Colorado, never more for to roam.

So friends, when my time comes as surely it will

You just carry my body out to some lonesome hill

And lay me down easy where the cool rivers run

With only my mountains 'tween me and the sun

Yeah my home is Colorado.
