Verse 1

N.C. G A Bm G D Dsus4 D G
I often have wandered, in deep contemplation
It seems that the mind runs wild when you’re all alone 
The way that it could be, the way that it should be  
Things I’d do differently, if I could do them again  

Verse 2

N.C. G A Bm G D Dsus4 D G
I’ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter
The green of the new leaves and life going on 
The promise of morning, the long days of summer  
Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars 

Verse 3

N.C. G A Bm G D Dsus4 D G
I’m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado
To old to ri---de anymore, too blind to see 
I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains 
Away from the cabin we always called home  

Bridge

I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino  
Whispering Jes---se rode right by my side  
I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing  
The touch of her cool hands, on my fevered brow 

Instrumental

             

Outro

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