D               G     A     Bm  G         D
I often had wandered, in deep contemplation
G  A                  D      A     G     Bm          A
It seems that the mind runs wild when you´re all alone
       G               D           G     A         D
The way that it could be, the ways that it should be
  G            A    D-A-G                  A       D
Things I´d do differently, if I could do them again

D                           G     A     Bm   G    D
I´ve always loved springtime, the passing of winter
G      A                D  A-G          Bm   A
The green of the new leaves and life goin´ on
         G              D          G    A     D
The promise of morning, the long days of summer
  G        A           D   A-G     A              D
Warm nights of loving her, beneath the bright stars

D                     G     A     Bm   G  D
I´m just an old cowboy, from high Colorado
G    A       D     A-G             Bm   A
To old to ride anymore, too blind to see
    G               D           G-A           D
I sleep in the city now, away from my mountains
G -A              D-A-G      A           D
Away from the cabin we always called home

D   G           D            G       A    D
I dreamed I left there, on an old palamino
G    A        D-A-G       Bm          A
Whispering Jesse rode right by my side
    G         D          G   A               D
I long to hold her, to hear her soft breathing
G      A                 D-A-G         A      D
The touch of her cool hand, on my fevered brow

G - A - D    G - A - D    G - A - Bm - G - A

   A           D-A-G       A                  D
Whispering Jesse, still rides in the mountains
G            A            D       G    A          D
Still sings in the canyons, still lives in my heart
