Verse 

D                   Em 
In the evening twi light (C-A7) 
                   D 
Melancholy shadows stray 
                      Em 
Down the trail of mem ories (C-A7) 
                    D 
From west of yester day 
                            Em 
The nights a time for dream ing (C-A7) 
                     D 
Back to days of long ago 
                      Em 
To my favorite cowboy hero (C- A7) 
                         D    D7 
And that famous horse he rode 

G 
He rode the open range 
D 
Across the silver screen 
     E7 
Down sawdust trails thru purple sage 
       A7 
And in a young mans dreams 
                      Em 
Dreams don't last for ever (C-A7) 
                       D 
But the memories never die 
                         Em 
Out there west of yester day (C-A7) 
                          D 
Where Tom Mix will always ride 

D                       Em 
I remember his last sun down (C-A7) 
                                   D 
As he watched that crimson dersert sky 
                                  Em 
Do you think he knew the mourning dove 
                             D 
were singing their last good bye 
                                    Em 
Do you think he chose this place to die (C-A7) 
                    D 
Did he plan his des tiny 
                          Em 
The answers in the desert wind (C-A7) 
                             D    D7 
Where his spirit still rides free 

G 
Now he rides on heavens range 
       D 
Beyond the mountains purple haze 
     E7 
Down stardust trails thru golden clouds 
       A7 
And in that land of endless days 
                                    Em 
For its the place where dreams come true (C-A7) 
                       D 
And the memories never die 
                         Em 
Out there west of yester day (C-A7) 
                          D 
Where Tom Mix will always ride 
                         Em 
Out there west of Yester day (C-A7) 
                                 D 
Where Tom Mix & Tony will always ride
