A (x02220@1)                 E (022100@1)               D (xx0232@1)Tired of my surroundings, I need a little time away from home
A (x02220@1)                    E (022100@1)                    D (xx0232@1)Tired of livin that narrow road, I got the urge to roam
A (x02220@1)                E (022100@1)              D (xx0232@1) I packed up my saddle bags, I'm headin on down the line

           A (x02220@1)            E (022100@1)         D (xx0232@1) Crossin dixie I got my steel horse laid back in the wind
         A (x02220@1)                  E (022100@1)            D (xx0232@1)Those fields I plowed and starry nights I know I'm sure to miss
                 A (x02220@1)           E (022100@1)             D (xx0232@1)How could the best of old Milwaukee be any better than this

           A (x02220@1)                E (022100@1)         D (xx0232@1) I took a left on that old highway, determined to give it my best
          A (x02220@1)              E (022100@1)                 D (xx0232@1)With an open mind and a world of time I was headin west
        A (x02220@1)      E (022100@1)            D (xx0232@1)The Calarado Rockies started comin into view
               A (x02220@1)       E (022100@1)           D (xx0232@1) 
 It was like nothin I'd ever seen, or ever knew

chorus:
                    A (x02220@1)            E (022100@1)          D (xx0232@1)
 As I was crossin Denver, thinkin that I, I'd found me a new home
           A (x02220@1)           E (022100@1)    D (xx0232@1)
 Crossin Denver now I realized, why I decided to roam
        A (x02220@1)             E (022100@1)                D (xx0232@1) Some people say it's heaven, and by the looks I could agree
          A (x02220@1)             E (022100@1)                   D (xx0232@1) It took lots of time for me to find that it's much to high for me

bridge:
         Bm (x24432@1)                    A (x02220@1)                      G (320003@1)           
 Cause theres somethin bout a southern wind while it's whistlin through the 
  Dpines (xx0232@1)           Bm (x24432@1)               A (x02220@1)                   G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1) 
 And the mighty arms of the great white oaks been holdin me just fine
  Bm (x24432@1)                         A (x02220@1)                      G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)   
 Theres somethin bout a southern bell that always keeps me in line
         Bm (x24432@1)                  A (x02220@1)                   G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)
 And it all came clear as my horse was nearin that mason dixon line
