Banks of the Colorado
Jimmie Dale Gilmore

DDown (xx0232@1)by the banks of the Colorado
                                                           BmMy (x24432@1)true love and I, one night did lie.
                                      DAnd (xx0232@1)we laughed and played and made fun
                                                                   Bmof (x24432@1)the entire world spinnin' round the sun
                                                  Ddown (xx0232@1)by the banks of the Colorado.

Up from the banks of the Colorado,
night watchmen stood guard, round the wagon yard
and I took a pillar as a sign
that the salt of the earth would soon be mine
up from the banks of the Colorado.

chorus:

                    G (320003@1)               DThere (xx0232@1)is another Colorado
                            G (320003@1)                                   Dwise (xx0232@1)men have told me, wise women, too.
                    G (320003@1)                           Dthat (xx0232@1)I have found sweet Eldorado
                                       A (x02220@1)                         Ddown (xx0232@1)by the banks of one sweet Colorado.

Down by the banks of Colorado
the years flowed softly before my eyes.
And a circus joined me in my quest
and stood with me throughout my test
down by the banks of the Colorado
