Don doesn't fancy himself as much of a song writer, but I think this ones pretty dang good. He tells a pretty good story about that last day of Tom Mixes life and how it inspired this song. (D) In the evening twi (Em) light (C-A7) Melancholy shadows (D) stray Down the trail of mem (Em) ories (C-A7) From west of yester (D) day The nights a time for dream (Em) ing (C-A7) Back to days of long (D) ago To my favorite cowboy (Em) hero (C- A7) And that famous horse he (D) rode (D7) (G) He rode the open range (D) Across the silver screen Down (E7) sawdust trails thru purple sage And in (A7) a young mans dreams Dreams don't last for (Em) ever (C-A7) But the memories never (D) die Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7) Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride (D) I remember his last sun (Em) down (C-A7) As he watched that crimson dersert (D) sky Do you think he knew the mourning (Em) dove were singing their last good (D) bye Do you think he chose this place to (Em) die (C-A7) Did he plan his des (D) tiny The answers in the desert (Em) wind (C-A7) Where his spirit still rides (D) free (D7) (G) Now he rides on heavens range Beyond (D) the mountains purple haze Down (E7) stardust trails thru golden clouds And in (A7) that land of endless days For its the place where dreams come (Em) true (C-A7) And the memories never (D) die Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7) Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride Out there west of Yester (Em) day (C-A7) Where Tom Mix & Tony will always (D) ride
