The Cdays roll Gby like the B7logs at the Criver

Never Amwanting to Cgrow up at AmallD  
But CI found a Gfamily and B7he found the Emrails
He Amleft on the Ftrain for Saint DPaul
CHORUS:

The Cdays roll Gby like the B7logs at the Criver

Kate Wolf - Telluride

CAPO: 2nd Fret

G D Am G Am C Am D C G B7 Em Am F D

INTRO:

G D Am G

On my way to the Telluride sawmill today

Am C Am D

I thought of an old friend who'd long gone away

C G B7 Em

He took to travelling when he turned seventeen

Am F D

And I stayed at home with the family

G D Am G

A collector of dreams was my old friend

Am C Am D

He talked about the times yet to come

C G B7 Em

But I took to working at the Telluride sawmill

Am F D

And I've been there since I turned twenty-one

CHORUS:

C G B7 Em

The river keeps rolling past the south county line

Am C Am D

I'd love to roll with it, but I've run out of time

C G B7 C

The days roll by like the logs at the river

Am F D

And I know I ain't getting no younger

G D Am G

We were kids growing up in the Rockies

Am C Am D

When the mountains were young and so free

C G B7 Em

He was my friend and my equal

Am F D

Though in years he was younger by three

G D Am G

We grew up in the usual fashion

Am C Am D

Never wanting to grow up at all

C G B7 Em

But I found a family and he found the rails

Am F D

He left on the train for Saint Paul

CHORUS:

C G B7 Em

The river keeps rolling past the south county line

Am C Am D

I'd love to roll with it, but I've run out of time

C G B7 C

The days roll by like the logs at the river

Am F D

And I don't often think of my old friend

G D Am G Am C Am D C G B7 Em Am F D

INSTRUMENTAL:

CHORUS 2:

C G B7 Em

Mr. Preacher can you give me an answer

Am C Am D

Lord, I can't go on this way

C G B7 C

I'm getting old and I don't feel so good

Am F D

Have I just been wasting my time

G C G B7 Em

Telluride, Telluride

Am F D

Have I just been wasting my time
