C#
The sun is sinking in the west
                                        G#
The cattle go down to the stream
    C#
The red wing settles in her nest
     C#           A#m            C#
It's time for a cowboy to dream


C#                              F#
Purple light in the canyons
                  C#              F#
That's where I long to be
          C#            F# 
With my three good companions
            C   #                  F#
Just my rifle, pony and me


C#                      F#
Gonna hang my sombrero
           C#               F#
On the limb of a tree
       C#                               F#
Coming home, sweetheart darlin'
             C#   F#       C# 
Just my rifle, pony and me
   

C#                              F#
Whippoorwill in the willow
            C#   F#
Sings a sweet melody
          C#            F#
Riding to Amarillo
            C#              F#
Just my rifle, pony and me

 
C#                              F#
No more cows to be roping
                C#               F#
No more strays will I see
                C#                       F#
Round the bend, she'll be waiting
           C#           F#         C#
For my rifle, pony and me
           C#           F#           C#
For my rifle, my pony and me
