Intro: B   F#  F#-F-E   B    F#-F-E   B     

                 F# 
Got out of work 
                     F#-F-E 
A quarter past five 
                       B 
Head into town, just a little too high 


                        F# 
Don't care where we go 
                    F#-F-E 
As long as we ride 
                              B                    F#  F#-F-E    B 
Riding with the boys from the Silverton mines 


                     F# 
It was horse drawn 
                 F#-F-E 
Over Stony Pass 
                        B 
Runs a little funny, but don't you laugh 


                          F# 
She's a little too slow 
                       F-E 
And a little too fast 
                      B                        E 
Cranking up the engine and putting in the gas 



             B 
Fill 'er up 
                      Dbm 
We're heading on out 
                F#          F#-F-E 
Going down to Durango town 
                   B 
And if we make it 
               Dbm 
Over the pass 
                             F#        
The snowfall's coming and we might not 
               E 
Might not look back
