^DI often had wand^Gered, ^Ain dee^Bmp co^Gntemplation ^D ^GIt ^Aseems that the mind^D runs w^Aild wh^Gen you^Bm're all alone ^A The way^G that it could b^De, the ways ^Gthat i^At should be ^D G A D-A-G A D Things I'd do differently, if I could do them again

^DI've always loved springtime^G, the ^Apassin^Bmg of ^Gwinter ^D G A D A-G Bm A The green of the new leaves and life goin' on The promi^Gse of morning, ^Dthe long da^Gys of^A summer ^D G A D A-G A D Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars

^DI'm just an old cowboy^G, from^A high ^BmColor^Gado ^D G A D A-G Bm A To old to ride anymore, too blind to see G D G-A D I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains G -A D-A-G A D Away from the cabin we always called home

^DI dr^Geamed I left^D there, on an^G old pal^Aamino ^D G A D-A-G Bm A Whispering Jesse rode right by my side I lo^Gng to hold^D her, to he^Gar h^Aer soft breathing ^D G A D-A-G A D The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow

G - A - D G - A - D G - A - Bm - G - A A D-A-G A D Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains

^GStill sings i^An the canyons^D, still ^Glives^A in my heart ^D .
