| A Ab | F#m |
VERSE 1
A Ab F#m
When the wagons leave the city
B A G
For the forest and further on
A Ab F#m
Painted wagons of the morning
B D
Dusty roads where they have gone
A Ab F#m
Sometimes travellin' through the darkness
B A G
Met the summer coming home
A Ab F#m E
Fallen faces by the wayside
D Bm A Ab
Looked as if they might have known.
CHORUS
F#m C#m
Oh, the sun was in their eyes
F#m C#m
And the desert was dry
D A
In the country towns
F#m B Rest (x2 beats)
Where the laughter sounds.

VERSE 2
A Ab F#m
All the dancing and the singing
B A G
All the music when they played
A Ab F#m
All the fires that they started
B D
And all the girls with no regrets
A Ab F#m
Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
B A G
Often lost it along the way
A Ab F#m E
Fought each other to possess it
D Bm A Ab
Sometimes died in sight of day.
CHORUS
F#m C#m
Oh, the sun was in their eyes
F#m C#m
And the desert was dry
D A
In the country towns
F#m B (Rest x2 beats)
Where the laughter sounds.

When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone
Sometimes traveling through the darkness
Met the summer coming home
Fallen faces by the wayside
Looked as if they might have known
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh the dancing and the singing
Oh the music when they played
Oh the fires that they started
Oh the girls with no regret
Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
Often lost it along the way
Fought each other to possess it
Often died in sight of day
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds

When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone
Sometimes traveling through the darkness
Met the summer coming home
Fallen faces by the wayside
Looked as if they might have known
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh the dancing and the singing
Oh the music when they played
Oh the fires that they started
Oh the girls with no regret
Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
Often lost it along the way
Fought each other to possess it
Often died in sight of day
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds

When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone
Sometimes traveling through the darkness
Met the summer coming home
Fallen faces by the wayside
Looked as if they might have known
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh the dancing and the singing
Oh the music when they played
Oh the fires that they started
Oh the girls with no regret
Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
Often lost it along the way
Fought each other to possess it
Often died in sight of day
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh the sun was in their eyes
And the desert was dry
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
