(intro)

A   Asus4   Asus4   A   (2x)


      A           Asus4    /        A
Sing songs of the sunrise into the nigh
      A        Asus4      /           A
the stars as a timepiece make it all right
       A              Asus4      /           A
Make friends with the darkness, talk to the moon
      A            Asus4
and when the light lifts,
        Asus4      A  A/g#  A/f#  A/e D D/c#  E (Esus4)
you can let out a tune


  A         Asus4        /                  A
Then to the mountains, climbed through the sky
       A                 Asus4       /                 A
They showed there their whiteness, watched their gold fly
  A             Asus4        /             A
Shared in their treasures, shook at their might
       A        Asus4       /          C  (	walkdown #2)
Spoke softly in wonders... cowboy's delight


(walkdown #2 : my best attempt at transcribing what is
probably a two-guitar part)
