CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G  
N.C.                    G             D7  G  
By the way you watch the sunset I can tell
Soon you'll Csaddle up that ole strawberry Groan
You bid goodbye to the Dgoodnight loving Gtrail
And set A7off to blaze a new trail of your Down
                                    C           G  G-G/F#  
I know you'll travel light, like you always do
But you'll Emalways take a A7part of me with DyouDsus2  D  
CHORUS:
N.C.         G  
Here's hopin'
There's an Copen road beGfore you
G/F#Here's Emhopin'Bm  
That your Caim is always Dtrue
And when you're Ctrying to outBmrun that setting Emsun
CmHere's Ghopin' Dthat you Gdo
I know you'll try to D7hold to higher Gground
And Cstay one day ahead of the stGorm
But when a norther blows and the Drain keeps pouring Gdown
May you A7find a place to keep you safe and Dwarm
                             C                 G  G-G/F#  
They say every cowboy finds a home somewhere
But, Emfriend, until your A7travels take you DthereDsus2  D  
CHORUS:
N.C.         G  
Here's hopin'
There's an Copen road beGfore you
G/F#Here's Emhopin'Bm  
That your Caim is always Dtrue
And when you're Ctrying to outBmrun that setting Emsun
CmHere's Ghopin' Dthat you Gdo
If the Ctrail looks bad you Bmneed to double Emback
CmHere's Ghopin' Dthat you Gdo
