Verse 1:
        C
She's a long way from Houston
                          F
Long way from those Texas blues
    C
And she came down from Telluride
                                     G   G7
On a steam train bound for somewhere new
          C
There's a rainbow in the mountains
                                          F      D7
And she's waiting on the sun to shine on through
G

You can't tell the tears from the rain
                                  C
If you ain't walked a mile in her boots


Chorus:
G                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
C                     G                 E
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Am                      F
Standing in the rain in Durango
            C
She's just waiting on some cowboy
    G         E                  Am   F C G
To lasso her heart and take her home


Instrumental:
Am F C G Am


Verse 2:
C
Fell in with some field hippies
                                  F
Went needle dancing in a tie dye dress
        C
Then a Rocky Mountain rain came
                          G   G7
And they all got soaking wet
     C
She wound up with a backstage pass
                                F    D7
Hanging with the pickers in the band
          G
'Ttil her heart got broke by a banjo man
                                         C
Now she's had all the bluegrass she can stand


Chorus:
G                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
C                     G                  E
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Am                      F
Standing in the rain in Durango
            C
She's just waiting on some cowboy
    G         E                  Am   F C G
To lasso her heart and take her home


Instrumental:
Am F C G Am


Verse 3:
         C
She had all of her belongings
                                        F
In a cardboard suitcase sitting by her side
         C
And she had no destination
                            G   G7
She was just looking for a ride
       C
So he pulled up in a Mustang
                               F    D7
She got in and they just rode away
      G
They headed west into the sunset
                          C
Mascara running down her face


Chorus:
G                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
C                     G                  E
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Am                      F
Standing in the rain in Durango
            C
She's just waiting on some cowboy
    G         E                  Am   F C G
To lasso her heart and take her home
Am                        F     C G Am
Standing in the rain in Durango
