CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: [G] [D] [Am] [G] [Am] [C] [Am] [D] [C] [G] [B7] [Em] [Am] [F] [D]

On my [G]way to the [D]Telluride [Am]sawmill to[G]day
I [Am]thought of an [C]old friend who'd [Am]long gone a[D]way
[C]He took to [G]travelling when he [B7]turned seven[Em]teen
And [Am]I stayed at [F]home with the [D]family

A [G]collector of [D]dreams was my [Am]old friend [G]
He [Am]talked about the [C]times yet to [Am]come [D]
But [C]I took to [G]working at the [B7]Telluride [Em]sawmill
And I've [Am]been there since I [F]turned twenty-[D]one

[CHORUS]
The [C]river keeps [G]rolling past the [B7]south county [Em]line
I'd [Am]love to roll [C]with it, but I've [Am]run out of [D]time
The [C]days roll [G]by like the [B7]logs at the [C]river
And I [Am]know I ain't [F]getting no [D]younger

We were [G]kids growing [D]up in the [Am]Rockies [G]
When the [Am]mountains were [C]young and so [Am]free [D]
[C]He was my [G]friend and my [B7]equal [Em]
Though in [Am]years he was [F]younger by [D]three

We grew [G]up in the [D]usual [Am]fashion [G]
Never [Am]wanting to [C]grow up at [Am]all [D]
But [C]I found a [G]family and [B7]he found the [Em]rails
He [Am]left on the [F]train for Saint [D]Paul

[CHORUS]
The [C]river keeps [G]rolling past the [B7]south county [Em]line
I'd [Am]love to roll [C]with it, but I've [Am]run out of [D]time
The [C]days roll [G]by like the [B7]logs at the [C]river
And I [Am]don't often [F]think of my [D]old friend

INSTRUMENTAL: [G] [D] [Am] [G] [Am] [C] [Am] [D] [C] [G] [B7] [Em] [Am] [F] [D]

[CHORUS 2]
Mr. [C]Preacher can you [G]give me an [B7]answer [Em]
Lord, I [Am]can't go [C]on this [Am]way [D]
[C]I'm getting [G]old and I [B7]don't feel so [C]good
Have I [Am]just been [F]wasting my [D]time
Tellu[G]ride, Tellu[C]ri[G]de [B7] [Em]
Have I [Am]just been [F]wasting my [D]time
