Verse 1
(C major) Colorado passes
by like (E minor) writing on a wall
(F major) Headed Eastward down
to (A minor) New Orleans (C major)
Dipping into Texas as the stars (E minor)
are fading out
But there's still (F major) a lot
of country in-between
When (G major) When I (A minor) left California,
I was (F major) 29 years (C major) old
And the (F major) world just (C major) spun (D minor) me (C major) (G major) 'round
Now I just (C major) watch Louisiana
Scroll across (F major) the windowpane (C major)
And I face (D minor) in the direction I am (F major) bound
