G

[Verse 1]
G
I came in like a restless wind
G
On a wagon train

But I'm gonna go like a July snow
                C    D
Back to where I came from
G                C  G
Gonna leave this humdrum
D                 G
It's too slow and tame

[Verse 2]
G
None of your business where I've been
G
Don't ask me what I've done

Run your ranch and punch your cows
                   C   D
And stay behind my gun man
G          C     G         D              G
Colorado's right hand will put you on the run

[Verse 3]
G
I got a gal in Denver town
G
That's crying over me

But I said goodbye and I let her cry
               C   G
I miss her company but
G
I'll get out of this rut
    D               G
Rio Bravo's killing me

[Verse 4]

G
They got a man locked in a cell
G
That's a freer man than I

He's gonna laugh right in their face
                          C   D
When they lead him out to die and
G                      C  G
He's gonna leave these badlands
    D               G
And ride off in the sky

[Verse 5]
G
You're gonna see old Colorado
G
Headin' for the door

You better believe I'm gonna leave
           C D
Like the 904 train
G                  C   G
Gonna breathe some air again
     D                   G
That ain't been breathed before
