D A A E G D
[Verse 1]
A E C#m B
It's a cold, cold moon out tonight
D A F#m
And it's a cold, cold point on your knife
D A A E G D
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light?
[Chorus]
C G D A
And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone
G D D A C G
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home
C G Em F C
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
F C G
Ohh, life is better there
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A E C#m B
It's a lonely road to travel on
D A F#m
But I've stood here waiting much too long
D A A E G D
And I'd rather leave this minute than try to carry on
[Chorus]
C G D A
And I'd be 40 miles from Denver headed east bound on the track
G D D A C G
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and trying to get back
C G Em F C
To that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
F C G
Ohh, life is better there

And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone

In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail

[Notes]
- The intro tab is an approximation. It attempts to bring in the melody
of the banjo solo. Though the rhythm guitar seems to play 'G D Bm A',
it doesn't fit well for incorporating the melody, so I use "G D Em D'.
- Instrumental sections use "Verse + Chorus" chord sequence
