Key:
D G A Bm G D I often had wandered, in deep contemplation
G A D A G Bm A It seems that the mind runs wild when you?re all alone
G D G A D The way that it could be, the ways that it should be
G A D A G A D Things I?d do differently, if I could do them again
D G A Bm G D I?ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter
G A D A G Bm A The green of the new leaves and life goin? on
G D G A D The promise of morning, the long days of summer
Continues after the ad
G A D A G A D Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars
D G A Bm G D I?m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado
G A D A G Bm A To old to ride anymore, too blind to see
G D G A D I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains
G A D A G A D Away from the cabin we always called home
D G D G A D I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino
G A D A G Bm A Whispering Jesse rode right by my side
G D G A D I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing
G A D A G A D The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow
( G A D G A D G A Bm G A )
A D A G A D Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains
G A D G A D Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
