	G	D	C	G
	When I was a	young man in	Sweetwater	Texas

	G	C	D
	Just one thing	stayed on my	mind

	G	D	C	G
	To ride a white	horse over	Durango	mountain

	C	G
And leave	Sweetwater Texas	behind

	D	C	G
But I turned twenty	one there in	Sweetwater	Texas

	C	D
Just one thing	made me stay	there

	G	D	C	G
	I wanted to	leave, but	I was in	love

	Em	C	G
	The girl with the	chestnut brown	hair

	C	D
	And there came a	time,

	G	C
	when she said shed be	mine

	Em	C	D
	And go any	place any	time

	G	D	C	G
So we	rode a grey	dog over	Durango	mountain

	C	D	G
And left	Sweetwater	Texas be	hind

SOLO

	G	D	C	G
	It was thundering and l	ightning when we	left Nolan	County

	G	C	D
	The bus rolled	along through the	night

	G	C	G
	And old 36 was a	magic black	demon

	G	D	G
	leading towards the	citys bright	lights

	G	D	C	G
	we pulled into	Houston at	ten in the	morning

	G	C	D
	our hopes were as	high as the	sky

	G	D	C	G
	but hopes turn to	weeks, then	years, then	forever

	Em	D	G
I never	knew how f	ast time goes	by

	C	D
	And cowboys sellin	cars

	G	C
	And country girls in	bars

	Em	C	D
	Somehow	just don't seem	fair

	G	D	C	G
And I	wanted to	die cause I	knew I was	loosing

	C	D	G
	The girl with the	chestnut brown	hair

SOLO

	C	D
	So many times I	said

	G	C
Id r	ather be	dead

	C	D
	Than take downs to go to	bed

	G	C
	And ups to clear my	head

	D
But If the good lord sees his	way

	G	C
To let me	live one more	day

Em (HOLD) D

Im so tired of being alone

	G	D	C	G
Gonna	ride a white	horse over	Durango	mountain

	C	D	G
And make	Sweetwater	Texas my	home.
