*Bothered me for a long time that this song isn't on here. 
 Its an old one, but one of McGraw's best in my opinion.

D A Bm7 G

VERSE 1:
     D                          A
When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car 
        Bm7                       G
I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar 
        D                        A
Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by 
        Bm7                     G
On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime 
Bm7           G
   But when I saw her walk in one night 
Bm7            G
   I knew that Id be all right in 

CHORUS:
D              A
Telluride, the snow falling down 
Bm7                      G
I was waking up in that sleepy little town 
D               A 
In her eyes my world came so alive 
  Bm7                  G
I never will forget the moment she arrived 
     D       A Bm7 G
In Telluride

VERSE 2: (Same as 1)
We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire 
Casting shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire 
Confessing all our secrets and laughing out loud 
So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down 
It was a dream we were living in 
And I was the happiest Id ever been in 

CHORUS:
D              A
Telluride, the snow falling down 
Bm7                        G
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
D               A 
In her eyes my world came so alive 
  Bm7                G
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
     D       A Bm7 G
In Telluride

D        A   Bm7     G
Telluride, whoa-oh-oh 

   Bm7               G
It ended just like a movie scene 
    Bm7               G
And I had to play the part 
       Bm7                       G
Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave 
    Em                 A
And me with the frozen heart 

CHORUS: (Softly)
    D             A
In Telluride, the snow falling down 
Bm7                          G
Standing there alone in that sleepy little town 
D               A
In her eyes, my world came so alive 
   Bm7                  G (Let Ring)
I never will forget the day she said goodbye 

    D              A
In Telluride, the snow falling down 
Bm7                        G
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
D               A 
In her eyes my world came so alive 
  Bm7                G
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
     D       A Bm7 G
In Telluride

   D A Bm7 G
Oh Telluride....
