CAPO 2
[Verse 1]
D A D
Well when the wind don't blow in Amarillo
A D
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
G D
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe
D A D
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes
[Chorus]
D G D A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning
G D
I'll be through them hills and gone
A D
[Verse 2]
D A D
Ah Mother thinks the road is long and lonely
A D
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine
G D
Well little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely
D A D
I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine
[Chorus]
D G D A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning
G D
I'll be through them hills and gone
A D
[Verse 3]
D A D
Ah, bid the years good-bye, you cannot still them
A D
Well you cannot turn the circles of the sun
G D
Well you cannot count the miles until you feel them
D A D
And you cannot hold a lover that is gone
[Chorus]
D G D A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning
G D
I'll be through them hills and gone
A D
[Verse 4]
D A D
Well, tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
A D
Silent beneath a blanket green and blue
G D
Ah that I shall hear the silence they are keeping
D A D
I'll bring all their promises to you
[Chorus]
D G D A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning
G D
I'll be through them hills and gone
[Chorus 2]
D G D A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning
G D
I'll be through them hills and gone
A G D
come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
