[Intro]
(Guitar and Mandolin (picked) - 8 measures)
E5
[Verse 1]
E I've driven this road as a stranger A I've driven this road as a friend E I've driven this road as a slack jawed tourist Bsus And I'm drivin' on it once again A It might be cold and long and lonely B But she's waiting on the other side E A And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer B E A E B E And joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride
[Transition 1]
A E And I climb from George Town to Silver Plume B E The tunnel at Loveland's cold A E The lake on the left is a little lower F# B And 9 is the Breckenridge road A There's a sign right below Copper Mountain Bsus B Telling whether Independence runs free E A And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer B E A E B E And that's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
[Instrumental]
(Guitar, Mandolin, Harmonica)
E A E B Bsus B E A B E A E B E
[Verse 2]
E In the evening shadow of Red Butte A Up the lane from the Slaughter House bridge E The first cabin the moonlight strikes Bsus As it crests the cleft in Hunter Crick Ridge A Up from between old Red and Smuggler B Bsus Rising high on a piano bench there E A And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer B E A E B E And what lies between beware, what lies between beware
[Transition 2]
E E/Gb E7/Ab A E Oh, and the red sandstone sentinels rising high on either side Bsus As I follow the eagle valley through the canyon where the saints reside A B Bsus And Mount Sopris massive majesty south and East out of Glenwood Springs E A And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer B E A E B E Where the Roaring river sings, the Roaring river sings
[Interlude]
(Guitar, Mandolin)
E5
[Coda]
E I've driven this road as a stranger A I've driven this road as a friend E I've driven this road as a slack jawed tourist Bsus And I'm drivin' on it once again A* It might be cold and long and lonely A* B* But she's waiting on the other side E A And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer B E A E B E A E B E And joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride
