Caroline Herring - Colorado Woman
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G Em C D (2x) C
G D
The western prairie stretches far away from home
G
Lose your troubles in the big sky
Em Asus2 C
Thought I'd move along like the ranchers do
D C
Stake a claim on a quiet space or two
G D
Miles away, still I recall your face and your lines
G
I once resided in a place
Em Asus2
Where riverboats lined up the big muddy shore
C D
Until I couldn't stand my sunny South anymore
CHORUS:
G D Em
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman
C D G
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl
D Em
There are times I need you to hold on to
C D G Em C D G Em C D
But this time I got to hold on by myself
C G D
I tumbled with the dustbowls across the Oklahoma plain
G
Headed westward towards the mountains and the rain
Em Asus2
The meadow of the timberline
C D
With your image still haunting my mind
CHORUS:
G D Em
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman
C D G
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl
D Em
There are times I need you to hold on to
C D G Em
But this time I got to hold on by myself
BRIDGE:
A
Take me down
C
Take me down
D G Em
Won't you please melt me down
A
But let me up
C
Help me up
D G
I want back on my feet again
INSTRUMENTAL: D Em C G D Em C D G
C G D
I'm going where the Rockies and the river collide
G
Formed like a woman stretched across the great divide
Em Asus2
Far from the land I betrayed
C D
And what would be the price if I stayed
CHORUS:
G D Em
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman
C D G
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl
D Em
And there are times I need you to hold on to
C D G Em C D G Em C D
But this time I got to hold on by myself
G Em C D G
By myself
