Verse:
       A5          E5        F5      E5
It's a cold, cold moon out tonight
            D5           A5            F5
And it's a cold, cold point on your knife
         D5            A5         A5   E5      G5        D5
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light?

Chorus:
           C5             G5               D5           A5
And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone
       G5             D5           D5     A5    C5      G5
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home
         C5             G5          E5          F5  C5 
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
      F5      C5       G5
Ohh, life is better there

It's a lonely road to travel on
But I've stood here waiting much too long
And I'd rather leave this minute than try to carry on

And I'd be 40 miles from Denver headed east bound on the track
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and trying to get back
To that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
Ohh, life is better there

It's a cold, cold moon out tonight
And it's a cold, cold point on your knife
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light?

And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
Ohh, life is better there (4x)
