G Em C D7 G
Sing songs of the sunrise into the night
Em C D G
The stars as your timepiece, make it all right
Em C D7 G
Make friends with the darkness, talk to the moon
Em C D G D Em C G D G
And when the light lifts, you can let out a tune
G Em C D7 G
I've been to the mountains, climbed through the sky
Em C D G
Shouldered their whiteness, watched their gold fly
Em C D7 G
Shared in their treasures, shook at their might
Em C D G D Em C G D G
Spoke softly of wonders, Cowyboy's Delight
G Em C D7 G
Sing songs of the sunrise into the night
Em C D G
A song of the mountain, Cowboy's Delight
Em C D7 G
The stars as your timepiece will make it all right
Em C D G D Em C G D G
Sing songs of the mountain, Cowboy's Delight
