() Verse 1. D There's this place we're gonna ride Bm Up where the rimrod meets the night Em We'll go hand in hand Em7 A Ridin' through the purple star light D And the coyote on the wind Bm Sends his lonely lover's call Em We'll hold each other close G D In the wonder of it all Verse 2. D The golden west has come and gone Bm Right before our very eyes Em But they will never count the stars Em7 A And they will never fence the skies D All I know is I love you Bm And I won't let you fall Em We're rollin' down the Milky Way G D (D one down stroke) Into the wonder of it all Bridge: F#m Life gets harder every day G D And sometimes it seems the dream almost dies F#m But love will find a way G Em It will show us the way through the canyons of the stars Em7 A (slide CAPO to 2nd Fret) And the endless midnight sky Verse 3. A D Come on girl we're gonna ride Bm Where the rimrod meets the night Em We'll go hand in hand Em7 A Ridin' through the purple starlight D And the coyote on the wind Bm Sends his lonely lover's call Em We'll hold each other close G D In the wonder of it all B Em We'll hold each other close Gm D G A D In the wonder of it all
