Banks of the Colorado

Down by the banks of the Colorado
BmBm Piano Chord 

My true love and I, one night did lie.
DD Piano Chord 

And we laughed and played and made fun
BmBm Piano Chord 

of the entire world spinnin' round the sun
DD Piano Chord 

down by the banks of the Colorado.

Up from the banks of the Colorado,
night watchmen stood guard, round the wagon yard
and I took a pillar as a sign
that the salt of the earth would soon be mine
up from the banks of the Colorado.

There is another Colorado
GG Piano Chord 
                                     DD Piano Chord 

wise men have told me, wise women, too.
GG Piano Chord 
                             DD Piano Chord 

that I have found sweet Eldorado
AA Piano Chord 
                           DD Piano Chord 

down by the banks of one sweet Colorado.

Down by the banks of Colorado
the years flowed softly before my eyes.
And a circus joined me in my quest
and stood with me throughout my test
down by the banks of the Colorado
