[Verse 1]

D                Bm
Ride through the lonely night
G                    D
Ride all through the day
D               Bm
Keep the herd a'movin' on
E              A7
Movin' on its' way


[Chorus]

D         Bm
Weep all ye little rains
G          D
Wail winds wail
     B7     F#m    G
All along, along, along
Em             D     A7
The Colorado trail


[Verse 2]

D             Bm
Eyes like the morning star
G              D
Cheeks like a rose
D            Bm
Laura was a pretty girl
E            A7
God almighty knows


[Chorus]

D         Bm
Weep all ye little rains
G          D
Wail winds wail
     B7     F#m    G
All along, along, along
Em             D     A7
The Colorado trail


[Verse 3]

D                 Bm
Ride through the stormy night
G           D
Dark is the sky
D                  Bm
Wish I'd stayed in Abilene
    E                 A7
I was mighty warm and dry


[Chorus]

D         Bm
Weep all ye little rains
G          D
Wail winds wail
     B7     F#m    G
All along, along, along
Em             D     B7
The Colorado trail
