[Verse 1]
        C
She's a long way from Houston
C                         F      F
Long way from those Texas blues
    C
And she came down from Telluride
     C                                G   G7
On a steam train bound for somewhere new
          C
There's a rainbow in the mountains
          C                               F      D7
And she's waiting on the sun to shine on through
G                                 G
You can't tell the tears from the rain
                                  C      C
If you ain't walked a mile in her boots


[Chorus]
G                         F
Standing in the rain in Durango
C                    G                  E7
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
      C
She's waiting on some cowboy
   G         E7                 Am
To lasso her heart and take her home

[Verse 2]
          C
Well, she fell in with some field hippies
     C                          F       F
Went needle dancing in a tie dye dress
       C
Then a Rocky Mountain rain came
C                          G    G7
  And they all got soaking wet
    C
She wound up with a backstage pass
C                               F     D7
Hanging with the pickers in the band
         G
'Til her heart got broke by a banjo man
    G                                   C      C
Now she's had all the bluegrass she can stand


[Chorus]
G                         F
Standing in the rain in Durango
C                    G                  E7
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
           C
She's just waiting on some cowboy
   G         E7                 Am
To lasso her heart and take her home


[Instrumental]
(Am)  F   C   G
 Am   F   C   G

[Verse 3]
        C
She had all of her belongings
     C                                 F     F
In a cardboard suitcase sitting by her side
        C
And she had no destination
C                          G     G7
She was just looking for a ride
      C
So he pulled up in a Mustang
C                              F    D7
She got in and they just rode away
     G
They headed west into the sunset
G                          C     C
  Mascara running down her face


[Chorus]
G                         F
Standing in the rain in Durango
C                    G                  E7
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
           C
She's just waiting on some cowboy
   G         E7                 Am
To lasso her heart and take her home


[Outro]
(Am)  F   C   G

Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
