  [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tIn and around Jackson's hole[/tab]\r\n[tab]                   [ch]A[/ch]\r\n\tIn the shadows of the Tetons[/tab]\r\n\r\n\tWhere summers are hot\r\n[tab]                                [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tAnd winters unbearably cold[/tab]\r\n[tab]                 [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tBut the Spring and the Fall[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                  [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tAre always as good as it gets[/tab]\r\n[tab]                 [ch]A[/ch]\r\n\tFor over 70 years now[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                   [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tI'd watch the sun rise and set[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nVerse 2:\r\n[tab]                [ch]A[/ch]\r\n\tI've been a cowboy[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                    [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tWorking the round-ups in spring[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]A[/ch]\r\n\tI've lived in the mountains[/tab]\r\n\r\n\tHunted the grizzly\r\n[tab]                                   [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tTrapping the rivers and streams[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tAlways the loner[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                       [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tI've treasured my freedom the most[/tab]\r\n[tab]                   [ch]A[/ch]\r\n\tAnd though i never married[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                           [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tAs a young man i might have come close[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nVerse 3:\r\n[tab]          [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tFrom somewhere back east[/tab]\r\n\r\n\tShe came to the valley\r\n[tab]                [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tWith a man who did her no good[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tHe was fast with the ladies[/tab]\r\n\r\n\tA tin horn gambler\r\n[tab]\t       [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tAnd a cheat whenever he could[/tab]\r\n[tab]               [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tShe had no friends or family[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tMost of the time he was gone[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]A[/ch]\r\n\tHe died in a card game[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                    [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tAnd she found herself all alone[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nVerse 4:\r\n[tab]          [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tAlone and afraid and left unprotected[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\t'Cause he was all that she had[/tab]\r\n[tab]           [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tMaybe i should have[/tab]\r\n\r\n\tBut i never told her\r\n[tab]              [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tSo she never knew

   [ch]A[/ch]\r\n\tThere was no one to help her[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tBut i was determined to try[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nVerse 5:\r\n[tab]

                                   [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\tThat brought out a good side of me[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nVerse 6:\r\n[tab]           [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\tI went into town,i brought a new
