                    1 & 2 & 3 &
      A5           A5    /        A5
Sing songs of the sunrise into the nigh
      A5        A5      /           A5
the stars as a timepiece make it all right
       A5              A5      /           A5
Make friends with the darkness, talk to the moon
      A5            A5
and when the light lifts,
        A5      A5  A5  A5  A5 D5 D5  E5 ( E5 )
you can let out a tune
  A5         A5        /                  A5
Then to the mountains, climbed through the sky
       A5                 A5       /                 A5
They showed there their whiteness, watched their gold fly
  A5             A5        /             A5
Shared in their treasures, shook at their might
       A5        A5       /          C5  (     walkdown #2)
Spoke softly in wonders... cowboy's delight
(walkdown #2 : my best attempt at transcribing what is
probably a two-guitar part)
