The sun is sinking in the west
  The cattle go down to the stream
  The redwing settles in the nest
  It's time for a cowboy to dream (spoken)


C5                     F5
Purple light in the canyons
            C5          G5
That's where I long to be

C5                    F5
With my three good companions
     C5          G5       C5
Just my rifle, pony and me


C5               F5
Gonna hang my sombrero
        C5          G5
On the limb of a tree

       C5                  F5
Comin' home, sweetheart darlin'
         C5      G5       C5
Just my rifle, pony and me


C5                   F5
Whippoorwill in the willow
        C5         G5
Sings a sweet melody

C5            F5
Ridin' to Amarillo
         C5      G5       C5
Just my rifle, pony and me.


C5                   F5
No more cows to be ropin'
       C5               G5
No more strays will I see

         C5                F5
Round the bend she'll be waitin'
        C5      G5       C5
For my rifle, pony and me
        C5         G5       C5
For my rifle, my pony and me.

Thanks! Have Fun!!
