 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 behind

 G                      D                C          G     
 It was thundering and lightning 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 fast 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
 G D C G G D C G 
         
 C               D   
 So many times I said
     G        C   
 Id rather 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.
