Banks of the Colorado
Jimmie Dale Gilmore

D
Down by the banks of the Colorado
                                                           Bm
My true love and I, one night did lie.
                                      D
And we laughed and played and made fun
                                                                   Bm
of the entire world spinnin' round the sun
                                                  D
down by the banks of the Colorado.

Up from the banks of the Colorado,
night watchmen stood guard, round the wagon yard
and I took a pillar as a sign
that the salt of the earth would soon be mine
up from the banks of the Colorado.

chorus:

                    G                 D
There is another Colorado
                            G                                     D
wise men have told me, wise women, too.
                    G                             D
that I have found sweet Eldorado
                                       A                           D
down by the banks of one sweet Colorado.

Down by the banks of Colorado
the years flowed softly before my eyes.
And a circus joined me in my quest
and stood with me throughout my test
down by the banks of the Colorado

chorus, solo and out
