D G A Bm G D G
I often had wandered, in deep contemplation
A Bm A G Asus4 A
It seems that the mind runs wild when you're all alone
G D G A D G
The way that it could be, the ways that it should be
A Bm A G A D
Things I'd do differently, if I could do them again
D G A Bm G D G
I've always loved springtime, the passing of winter
A Bm A G Asus4 A
The green of the new leaves and life goin? on
G D G A D G
The promise of morning, the long days of summer
A Bm A G A D
Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars
D G A Bm G D G
I'm just an old cowboy, from high Colorado
A Bm A G Asus4 A
To old to ride anymore, too blind to see
G D G A D G
I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains
A Bm A G A Dsus4 D
Away from the cabin we always called home
G A D G A D
I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino
G A Bm A G A G/A A
Whispering Jesse rode right by my side
D G A D G
I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing
A Bm A G A D
The touch of her cool hands, on my fevered brow
G A D G A D G A Bm G A G/AA

D G A D G
Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains
A D G A D
Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
