Here's another old favorite! Mark [email protected] ***** Tumbling Tumbleweeds by Bob Nolan
Prelude:
CFC I'm a roaming cowboy, riding all day long G7C Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song. FCCm6A7 Nights underneath a prairie moon, D7G I ride alone and sing a tune.
Chorus:
FF7 See them tumbling down, EE7 Pledging their love to the ground, FCC#dim Lonely but free I'll be found G7CC+ Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
FF7 Cares of the past are behind, EE7 Nowhere to go but I'll find FCC#dim Just where the trail will wind, G7CC+ Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Fm6G7C Am6# B7EmB7G7 I know when night has gone that a new world's born at dawn,
FF7 I'll keep rolling along, EE7 Deep in my heart is a song, FCC#dim Here on the range I belong, G7CC7C+ Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
