In case anyoEmne gave us any trouble
And we walked Call the way back to CortezD  
You sang help me Gdear doctor
At the top Emof your lungs
You'd been soaking Cup drink like a spongeD  
GLittle boy down the street 
EmWe all heard you mournfully
Call agCain and again for RobertaD

The mouGntain towns burned red
EmConsumed by a sunset
I'd be haCppy disappearing under colors like thatD  
And I fGell in love with trains,
EmHaunted by the old refrain
CYou ride the Southern, I'll ride thDe Santa Fe

GIt was wrong of me to leave
Em'Cause I couldn't stand a perfect thing
CBut I was too young to know any betterD  
And I'd give Gthe world if it were mine
EmTo let these memories slip my mind
CAnd wake up next to you one more timeD

You picked up a broken bottle

In case anyone gave us any trouble

C D

And we walked all the way back to Cortez

You sang help me dear doctor

At the top of your lungs

C D

You'd been soaking up drink like a sponge

Little boy down the street

We all heard you mournfully

C D

Call again and again for Roberta

G Em

Rober - ta…

C D

Rober - ta…

The mountain towns burned red

Consumed by a sunset

C D

I'd be happy disappearing under colors like that

And I fell in love with trains,

Haunted by the old refrain

C D

You ride the Southern, I'll ride the Santa Fe

G Em

Santa Fe…

C D

Santa Fe…

It was wrong of me to leave

'Cause I couldn't stand a perfect thing

C D

But I was too young to know any better

And I'd give the world if it were mine

To let these memories slip my mind

C D

And wake up next to you one more time

G Em

One more…

C D

One more time…

G Em

One more …

C D

One more time…
