Corb Lund – Road To Las Cruces (Guitar)

C                   F       C     F
Does the wind still blow In New Mexico?

       C                      G
Do the silver candelabras yet shine?

   F                         C
Is Cathrine still queen of El Paso?

            Em                   G
Never to be yours, never to be mine

      F                              G
Out of reach like the pale moon that shines

                  Am      G
On the road to Las Cruces

     C     F             C      F
On a high plateau out of Anton Chico

          C                     G
I see the dust of a herd moving through

    F                           C
The dream and the lights softly fading

            Em                            G
The horses will not stand, they wish to go with them

F               G
Riding for Alex Corone,

                  Am      G
on the road to Las Vegas

       C        F             C                F
At the line of desire, seven strands of barbed wire

     C                        G
Will hold back the on rushing tide

      F                              C
Many dreams have been brought to the border

            Em                    G
Down in the canyons, down in the culverts

      F                    G
They pray for safe passage tonight

                     Am     G
On the trail to Albuquerque

          C    F           C           F
I crossed over Ratón, As I stood there alone

        C                      G
Looking in to the heart of the night

F                            C
Across that dark plain to El Paso

               Em               G
Where Cathrine sleeps, Cathrine dreams

       F                             G
Out of reach like the pale moon that shines

                    Am    G
On the road to Las Cruces

                    Am    G  C
On the road to Las Cruces
