[Intro] D [Verse 1]
                A                    D
Well, when the wind don't blow in Amarillo

        A                             D
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise

        G                         D
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe

     D              G                D
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes
[Chorus]
      D      G    D         A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning

                               D
I'll be through them hills and gone
[Verse 2]
     A                                  D
Ah, Mother thinks the road is long and lonely

         A                                      D
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine

              G                                   D
Well, little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely

     D                G                  D
I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine
[Chorus]
      D      G    D         A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning

                               D
I'll be through them hills and gone
[Verse 3]
     A                                   D
Ah, bid the years goodbye, you cannot still them

          A                               D
Well, you cannot turn the circles of the sun

          G                                 D
Well, you cannot count the miles until you feel them

        D             G              D
And you cannot hold a lover that is gone
[Chorus]
      D      G    D         A
It's snowin' on Raton, come morning

                               D
I'll be through them hills and gone

        A                              D
Well, tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping

 A                                  D
Silent beneath a blanket green and blue

        G                                  D
Ah, but I shall hear the silence they are keeping

     D                G           D
I'll bring all their promises to you
[Chorus]
      D      G    D         A

I'll be through them hills and gone

It's snowin' on Raton, come morning

                               D
I'll be through them hills and gone

     A                                        G      D
Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
