Chords for Paul Williams - 'Roan Pony' (1970)

_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ When my world becomes too much for me, and I've had my fill of schemes,
I reach back into [E] its history and [F#m] recall my [E] childhood dreams.
[G#m]
[F#m] With my love for how things used to be, and our once imagined friend,
I will find [D#] a time [E] that's right for me, try [F#m] to find a [E] better end.
But believe [A] _ [E] me, _
[A] _ _ [E] _ I'll ride away on my lonely _ [A] show,
show me me and I [B] by my [C#] _ side.
_ _ _ [D#] _ [E] We'll chart the course of a [E] new _ [A] river, give her a name, then we're gone, [B] we've got [C#] to move on.
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ [F#] _ [D#m] Down from the hills, [B] across [F#] the plains to [B] a golden shore,
[F#] down, [D#m] down [F#] from the [D#] hills, _ [B] to stand where [F#] no man [G#m] has to be [C#] for. _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[F#m] But then my world comes cruising back to me, and it's more than I can take.
I escape [B] before [E] it gets to me, I [F#m] hush then before [E] I pray.
[C#m] So I've gone from [F#m] what I've come to be, to a time before my own,
till my friend [B] is standing next to [E] me, and [F#m] I know [B] I'm [E] not alone.
[A] But believe _ [E]
me, [A] _ _ _ _ [E] I'll ride away on my lonely _ [A] show,
show me me and I [B] by my [C#] _
[D#] _ side.
_ _ _ [E] We'll chart the course of a new river, [A]
give her a [E] name, then we're gone, we've got [C#] to move _ on.
_ _ [D#] _ _ [F#]
Down _ from the [D#m] hills, [F#] across the plains to [G#m] a golden shore,
[F#] _ down, down from the [D#m] hills, [F#] to stand where no man [B] has to be [C#]
for.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m]
Show me [F#m] me and I [B] by [C#] my _ _ _ side.
[D#] _ _
[E] We'll chart the course of a new river, [A] give her a name.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
