[D]
As a psychedelic cowboy [Em] left impressions on [A] a half-empty bar room he [D] just played.
And a hippie girl from Austin [Em] waited patiently in [A] the alley to fulfill the plans [D] they'd made.
They drove the stew to Baker [Em] toward the sunrise.
[A] Then pulled into the Cactus Tree [D] Motel.
The sky glowed like [Em] mescaline around them.
As they [A] promised love no love song could [D] fulfill.
If you ever [G] leave I'm [D] going [A] with you.
[D] Words [G] whispered softly in the [A] night.
That [D] we may have been high [G] when we rode it in the sky.
But [Em] I'll keep that promise [A] with me till [D] I die.
A wild painted pony [Em] crossed the highway.
[A] An omen that we both thought [D] was good.
Like a morning lullaby [Em] or an eagle as she flies.
[A] Signs we could have not [D] misunderstood.
If [G] [D] you ever [G] leave I'm going [A] with you.
Words [G] whispered softly in the [A] night.
That we [D] may have been high [G] when we rode it in the sky.
But [Em] I'll keep that [A] promise with me till [D] I die.
[Em]

[G] [Em]
[A] [D]
Now the years twist us like two broken [Em] arrows.
[A] But our symphony still plays a sweet [D] refrain.
Just lofty love and laughter we [Em] gave in to.
[A] Two old weathered hearts that dared [D] dream.
If you [G] ever leave I'm going [A] with you.
[D] Words [G] whispered softly in the [A] night.
That [D] we may have been high [G] when we rode it in the sky.
[Em] But I'll keep that promise [A] with me till [D] I die.
Oh [Em] I'll keep that promise [A] with me till [D] I die.
