Snowin on Raton

CAPO 4th Fret

INTRO
C  G  C

         G                  C
When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
        G                             C
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
 F                               C
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe
    C               G                C
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes
        C      F  C
It was snowin' on Raton
     G               F                      C
Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone

G   C 

G                                  C
Mother thinks the road is long and lonely
       G                                       C
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine
       F                                   C
And my darling thinks the road is soft and lovely
    C             G                      C
I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine
        C      F  C
It was snowin' on Raton
     G               F                      C
Come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone

G   C

G                                  C
Bid the years good-bye, you cannot still them
    G                               C
No you cant turn the circles of the sun
    F                                  C
And you cant count the miles until you feel them
    C                    G             C
And you sure cant hold a lover that is gone
        C      F  C
It was snowin' on Raton
     G               F                      C
Come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone

BREAK ON VERSE

G                              C
Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
G                                  C
Silent 'neath a blanket green and blue
F                                        C
All I shall hear is the silence they are keeping
    C                    G           C    
And I'll bring all their promises to you

CHORUS 2x
        C      F  C
It was snowin' on Raton
     G               F                      C
Come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone

          G               F                      C    G C
Yeah,come morning,I'll be through them hills and gone
