Townes van Zandt - My proud mountains

^GMy home is ^EmColorado with ^Cher proud mountains ^Gtall ^EmWhere the rivers like ^Ggypsy's ^Cdown her black canyons ^Gfall ^EmWell, I'm a long, ^Glong way from Denver ^Cwith a long way to ^Dgo ^EmSo lend an ear to my si^Gnging 'c^Cause I'll be back no ^Gmore

^GI left as a y^Emoung man not ^Cfull s^Geventeen ^EmWith nothin' ^Gfor company b^Cut the wind and a^G dream ^Em'Bout all the f^Gast ladies and ^Clivin' I'd ^Dfind ^EmWhen I left my ^Gproud mountains and^C rivers b^Gehind

^GSo I rolled and a^Em-rambled like^C a leaf in the ^Gwind ^EmWell, I found my f^Gast ladies and so^Cme hard l^Givin' men ^EmWell, I sometimes wen^Gt hungry with m^Cy pockets al^Dl bare ^EmLord, I sometimes had^G good luck with^C money to s^Gpare

^GI made me some fr^Emiends, Lord, that I^C won't soon f^Gorget ^EmSome are down un^Gder and some are ^Crambling y^Get ^EmBut as for ^Gme I'm^C headed for h^Dome ^EmBack to high ^GColorado never^C more for to ^Groam

^GSo friends, when m^Emy time comes a^Cs surely it^G will ^EmYou just carry my^G body out to s^Come lonesome^G hill ^EmAnd lay me down e^Gasy where the ^Ccool rivers ^Drun ^EmWith only my moun^Gtains 'twee^Cn me and the s^Gun

^EmYeah, My home is ^GColorado ^{C G}
