Intro: C
C
You know I love the trail I'm on
Dm
And the friends who ride with me
G
The country that we're passing through
C
Is a paradise to see
C
A haven for my spirit
Dm
The homeland of my dreams
G
My heart flies through the wilderness
C
And on an eagle's wings
C
And, oh, I love the waterfall
Dm
And the way the river sings
G
From snow capped peaks both proud and tall
C
Through forests deep and green
C
The highway of the mountains
Dm
The lifeblood of the land
G
I can hear my mother speak to me
C
And hold my father's hand
F
Durango Mountain Caballero
C
Take me for a ride
F
On the backbone of this mighty land
C
The continental divide
F
To the place where earth and heaven
Am
Meet the mountains and the sky
F G G7
In the heart of Colorado, Rocky Mountain High
C
And, oh, I love the campfire
Dm
And the circle that I'm in
G
The stories and the laughter
C
They should never, ever end
C
Forever in my memory
Dm
Forever in my song
G
On a San Juan mountain trail ride
F G C
I'll carry you along
