Colorado Lyrics

Hey Colorado it was not so long ago

G D Em G7 C G G7
I left your mountain to try life on the road
C G G7 C G G7
Now I'm finished with that race it was much too fast a pace
C G G7 C G D Em D
And I think I know my place Colorado I wanna come home
G D Em G7 C G D
There was a woman but I left her far behind

G D Em G7 C G G7
I could have loved her if I only had the time
C G G7 C G G7
But I stopped along the way just long enough to say
C G G7
Lord I'd really really like to stay
C G D Em D
But my lady knows I've got to go
Em D C G Em D C G
I was too young to know what I've done
Em D C G F D7
I made my plans but I was wrong yes I was wrong
G D Em G7 C G D
Hey Colorado is it too late to change my mind
G D Em G7 C G G7
I've done some thinking and I'm trying hard to find
C G G7
The way to come back home
C G G7
Oh I've been so very long alone
C G G7 C G
Won't you take care of your own Colorado I think I'm coming home
