[Intro]
G C Am G/B C G D G
G Bm C D x2
C D G D/F# Em D Am Bm C D G D
[Verse 1]
G Bm C D
I want to saddle my horse in darkness, trot out through the mornin’ dew;
G Bm C D
I want to breathe some air that’s never been breathed.
G Bm C D
I want to drink the wine of freedom and toast the good ones that we knew;
Am Bm C D G D
I want to count a million stars and think of you.
[Verse 2]
G Bm C D
I wanna see one more hometown rodeo where it’s hats off for the flag;
G Bm C D
Yeah we cheer the buckin’ horse and the wild ride.
G Bm C D
I want to put a hole in my TV set and let the silence ring true;
Am Bm C D G D
I want to count a million stars and think of you.
[Chorus]
G Bm C D
So don’t tell me that the West is dead and gone,
G Bm C D
Yeah 'cause my heart can’t stand to hear that sad old song.
C D G D/F# Em D
And if you’re sayin’ “Son, you missed it all,” here’s hopin’ that you’re wrong.
Am Bm C D G D
Don’t tell me it’s dead and gone.
[Verse 3]
G Bm C D
I want to see one more Charlie Russell print in some old rundown café,
G Bm C D
Where old men and coffee tell their tales.
G Bm C D
I want to ride out with the wagon and the scent of the springtime sage;
Am Bm C D G D
I want to keep the wind at my back on down the trail.
[Chorus]
G Bm C D
So don’t tell me that the West is dead and gone,
G Bm C D
Yeah 'cause my heart can’t stand to hear that sad old song.
C D G D/F# Em D
And if you’re sayin’ “Son, you missed it all,” here’s hopin’ that you’re wrong.
Am Bm C D G D
Don’t tell me it’s dead and gone.
[Instrumental]
G Bm C D x2
C D G D/F# Em D Am Bm C D G D
[Verse 4]
G Bm C D
I want to see suntanned cowgirl cheeks with long braids 'neath a hat;
G Bm C D
Hear the summer rain on the roof at a country dance.
G Bm C D
And we’ll ride out our raging storms till the light comes shining through,
Am Bm C D G D
Then we’ll count a million stars and think of you.
[Outro]
G Bm C D
So don’t tell me that the West is dead and gone,
G Bm C D
Yeah 'cause my heart can’t stand to hear that sad old song.
C D G D/F# Em D
And if you’re sayin’ “Son, you missed it all,” here’s hopin’ that you’re wrong.
Am Bm C Am Bm C Am Bm C D G Bm C G C D G
Don’t tell me, no don't tell me, don't tell me it’s dead and gone.
