C               F     G     Am  F              C
I often had wandered, in deep contemplation

F  G                  C      G     F     Am                   G
It seems that the mind runs wild when you?re all alone

       F               C           F     G               C
The way that it could be, the ways that it should be

  F            G    C-G-F                  G            C
Things I?d do differently, if I could do them again

C                           F     G     Am   F           C
I?ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter

F      G                C  G-F          Am          G
The green of the new leaves and life goin? on

         F              C          F    G                  C
The promise of morning, the long days of summer

  F        G           C   G-F     G                       C
Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars

C                     F     G     Am   F         C
I?m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado

F    G       C     G-F             Am       G
To old to ride anymore, too blind to see

    F               C           F-G                 C
I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains

F -G              C-G-F      G                  C
Away from the cabin we always called home

C   F           C            F       G         C
I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino

F    G        C-G-F       Am             G
Whispering Jesse rode right by my side

    F         C          F   G                 C
I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing

F      G                 C-G-F         G               C
The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow
F - G - C F - G - C F - G - Am - F - G
   G           C-G-F       G                  C
Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains

F            G            C       F    G             C
Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
