Tonopah Chords by Dave Stamey

_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I carry [E] my saddle by [F#m] _ the side [E] of the road _
_ [F#m] _ _ Hard [E] rain's falling, _
_ [F#m] _ _ wind [E] blowing cold
_ [D] _ East across [E] the mountains _ [F#m] head of battle's sing _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Telling me [E] it's time to hurry [F#m] _ _ _ _ home _
_ [D] _ And I [E] would fly there now [A] if I had [E] wings
[F#m] _ _ _
_ [D] _ No soaring [C#] back to town and [F#m] pound
_ _ [E] Headlights glowing, _
_ [F#m] _ the cars [E] hurry past _
_ [F#m] _ Just like [E] the years, _
_ [F#m] _ all flowing [E] so fast
_ [D] _ If I [E] can get there I [F#m] know I'll be warm _ _ _
_ [D] The aching in my [E] bones [B] will soon be [F#m] gone _ _ _ _
_ [D] I fear the [E] darkness of [A] this coming [E] storm
_ [F#m] As _
_ [D] _ I journey [C#] back to _ [F#m] Donaupaul _ _ _ _
Ooh, [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ oh [E] the night is falling
[F#m] _ _ _ [E] Ooh, _ _
_ [D] _ oh [E] hear the battle calling
[D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blown country [F#m] calling me _ _ _
_ [D] _ Out where [E] the shadows run [F#m] so tall _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blown country
[A] I can hear you calling [F#m] me _ _
_ [D] _ _ Calling [C#] me back to [F#m] Donaupaul
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ There I [E] was young, _
_ [F#m] _ _ there [E] I was brave
_ [F#m] There _ [E] was a warm kiss waiting [F#m] _ at the end of [E] the day
[E] _
_ [D] _ Everything [E] I wanted I [F#m] left waiting there
_ Now _ [D] _ I see [E] the things I never [F#m] _ saw _ _ _ _
[A] _ [D] _ My dreams [E] are shattered now [A] and no one cares
[F#m] _ _ _
_ [D] So I'm going [C#] back to _ [F#m] Donaupaul _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] Ooh, _ _
_ [D] _ oh [E] the night is falling
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] Ooh, _
_ [D] _ _ oh [E] hear the battle calling
[D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blown country [F#m] calling me _ _ _
_ [D] _ Out where [E] the shadows run so [F#m] _ _ _ tall _ _
_ [D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blown country
[A] I can hear [G#m] you calling [F#m] me
_ [C#m] _
_ [D] _ _ Calling me [C#] back to _
[F#m] _ _ Donaupaul _ _ _ _
[D] If I can reach the [E] desert I [A] know I'll be [E] young [F#m] again _ _
[D] I'll touch my woman's [E] face and things will [A] be as [E] they [F#m] were then _
[D] Bad horses working [E] whiskey [A] have left me [E] tired and [F#m] sore
And I've [Bm] got no use for wandering _
[E] anymore
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[F#m] _ I turn up my [E] collar, _ _
_ [F#m] turn my face to [E] the wind _
_ Trucks rumbling [E] by, _
_ [F#m] seems my chances are slim _
[D] _ East across the mountains [F#m] here Nevada sings _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Telling me it's [E] time to [F#m] hurry _ _ home _ _ _
[A] _ [D] I pick up [E] my saddle [A] and head for all the [E] things
[F#m] I _
[D] _ left waiting [C#] there for _ [F#m] Donaupaul _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ Ooh, [E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ oh [E] the night is falling
[F#m] _ _ _ [E] Ooh, _ _
[D] _ _ oh hear [E] the battle _ calling
Hot, dry and wind blown country [F#m] calling me _ _ _ _
[D] _ Out where the shadows run [F#m] so _ _ tall _ _ _
[D] _ Hot, dry [E] and wind blown country
[A] I can hear [C#m] you calling [F#m] me _ _ _
[D] _ _ Calling me [C#] back to [F#m] Donaupaul
