INTRO 
 
 
      C             D 
On my blanket I was lyin', 
G            G/F#    Em 
Too tired to lift my head. 
        C                 D 
And the long, hot day was dyin', 
      G       
And I wished I was dead. 
         C                 D 
From the west the gold was driven, 
      G           G/F#     Em 
And I watched the death of day. 
        C 
And the distant stars in heaven, 
                        D 
Seemed to draw my heart away. 
 
 
      C  C/B  Am   D                G    G/F#  Em 
Those western stars at the death of day, 
              Am   D               G    Gsus  G 
Those western stars draw my heart away.
