Carolyn In The Sunset

A D A E A A D We were riding from Durango back in Colorado A E Somewhere way upon the Great Divide A D Well we rode through hell and thunder, I guess it’s no wonder A E A It’d come back now so clearly in my mind A D When the sky and you were brothers, the wind your next of kin A E Lightning and clouds could freeze your soul A D The fear will pass on through you like the ice cold hand of winter A E A Wash you clean and leave you feeling whole D A And he said goodnight to Carolyn in the Sunset A E He did it every evening so they say A D He’d just wander off from us, go to see the stock is fed A E A You’d see him out against the sky remembering what she’d said D A When you’re tired of riding out there all alone A E When it’s time to put your saddle up and finally come on home A D I’ll be here waiting for you, it’s a promise that I’ll keep A E A “Cause I’ll be there in your sunset when the world goes off to sleep A D Well the years have come and gone now, I’m a better man A E Trails and time have gone their separate ways A D You know I still ride on up there deep inside me somewhere A E D And watch the closing of another day D A When you’re tired of riding out there all alone A E When it’s time to put your saddle up and finally come on home A D I’ll be here waiting for you, it’s a promise that I’ll keep A E A “Cause I’ll be there in your sunset when the world goes off to sleep A E D A Yes I’ll be there in your sunset when the world goes off to sleep
