[Introduction]

[Verse 1]
E             Esus4
No sun on the Rockies
E             D        A
 Not even the light of day
E                      D     D/A    A   Asus2
 I feel that old cabin fever comin' on
E                  Esus4
  But I know where I'll  be
E                        D        A
  When Lady Luck finally blows my way
E                           D         D/A     A
  She'll put the wind in my sails and I'll be gone
[Chorus]
A                          D
It won't be long before my ship comes in
       A                     G    D
Gonna sail right out of Colo-rado
A                   D
  Catch a ride on a warm trade wind
          E
To Puerta no one knows
A                                D
  She'll find me waitin' when my ship comes in
      A                              G    D
Gonna board and go whichever way the wind blows
A                      D
 I'll be off to find myself once again 
          E            B7sus4/E
in Puerta no one knows
        E           B7sus4/E
When my ship comes in

[Verse 2]
E              Esus4
Maybe I'm only dreamin' 
E        D          A
  But it sure seems real
E                          D           D/A    A    Asus2
  Somehow the wind doesn't chill quite to the bone
E                         Esus4
  Or could it just be the fever
E                    D    A
 I'm runnin' on an uneven keel
E                       D            A
 I'm losin sight of why I'm up here alone....
[Chorus]
A                          D
It won't be long before my ship comes in
