Don Edwards, West Of Yesterday Tabs

This one was written by Don Edwards. Don doesn't fancy himself as much of a
song writer, but I think this ones pretty dang good. He tells a pretty good
story about that last day of Tom Mixes life and how it inspired this song.

(D) In the evening  twi (Em) light (C-A7)
Melancholy shadows (D) stray
Down the trail of mem (Em) ories (C-A7)
From west of yester (D) day
The nights a time for dream (Em) ing (C-A7)
Back to days of long (D) ago
To my favorite cowboy (Em) hero (C- A7)
And that famous horse he (D) rode (D7)

(G) He rode the open range
(D) Across the silver screen
Down (E7) sawdust trails thru purple sage
And in (A7) a young mans dreams
Dreams don't last for (Em) ever (C-A7)
But the memories never (D) die
Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7)
Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride

(D) I remember his last sun (Em) down (C-A7)
As he watched that crimson dersert (D) sky
Do you think he knew the mourning (Em) dove
were singing their last good (D) bye
Do you think he chose this place to (Em) die (C-A7)
Did he plan his des (D) tiny
The answers in the desert (Em) wind (C-A7)
Where his spirit still rides (D) free (D7)

(G) Now he rides on heavens range
Beyond (D) the mountains purple haze
Down (E7) stardust trails thru golden clouds
And in (A7) that land of endless days
For its the place where dreams come (Em) true (C-A7)
And the memories never (D) die
Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7)
Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride
Out there west of Yester (Em) day (C-A7)
Where Tom Mix & Tony will always (D) ride
