Verse 1:
    C majorC
She's a long way from Houston
             FF
Long way from those Texas blues
  C majorC
And she came down from Telluride
                   G+G  G7G7
On a steam train bound for somewhere new
     C majorC
There's a rainbow in the mountains
                     FF   D7D7
And she's waiting on the sun to shine on through
G+G
You can't tell the tears from the rain
                 C majorC
If you ain't walked a mile in her boots

Chorus:
G+G            FF
Standing in the rain in Durango
C majorC           G+G         E MajorE
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
A minorAm           FF
Standing in the rain in Durango
      C majorC
She's just waiting on some cowboy
  G+G     E MajorE         A minorAm  FF C majorC G+G
To lasso her heart and take her home


Instrumental:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G A minorAm


Verse 2:
C majorC
Fell in with some field hippies
                 FF
Went needle dancing in a tie dye dress
    C majorC
Then a Rocky Mountain rain came
             G+G  G7G7
And they all got soaking wet
   C majorC
She wound up with a backstage pass
                FF  D7D7
Hanging with the pickers in the band
     G+G
'Ttil her heart got broke by a banjo man
                     C majorC
Now she's had all the bluegrass she can stand

Chorus:
G+G            FF
Standing in the rain in Durango
C majorC           G+G         E MajorE
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
A minorAm           FF
Standing in the rain in Durango
      C majorC
She's just waiting on some cowboy
  G+G     E MajorE         A minorAm  FF C majorC G+G
To lasso her heart and take her home


Instrumental:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G A minorAm


Verse 3:
     C majorC
She had all of her belongings
                    FF
In a cardboard suitcase sitting by her side
     C majorC
And she had no destination
              G+G  G7G7
She was just looking for a ride
    C majorC
So he pulled up in a Mustang
                FF  D7D7
She got in and they just rode away
   G+G
They headed west into the sunset
             C majorC
Mascara running down her face


Chorus:
G+G            FF
Standing in the rain in Durango
C majorC           G+G         E MajorE
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
A minorAm           FF
Standing in the rain in Durango
      C majorC
She's just waiting on some cowboy
  G+G     E MajorE         A minorAm  FF C majorC G+G
To lasso her heart and take her home
A minorAm            FF   C majorC G+G A minorAm
Standing in the rain in Durango
