Caroline Herring - Colorado Woman


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD (2x) C majorC

               G+G          D MajorD
The western prairie stretches far away from home
             G+G
Lose your troubles in the big sky
      E minorEm              Asus2Asus2  C majorC
Thought I'd move along like the ranchers do
          D MajorD         C majorC
Stake a claim on a quiet space or two

         G+G              D MajorD
Miles away, still I recall your face and your lines
     G+G
I once resided in a place
   E minorEm           Asus2Asus2
Where riverboats lined up the big muddy shore
 C majorC               D MajorD
Until I couldn't stand my sunny South anymore


CHORUS:
 G+G          D MajorD           E minorEm
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman
            C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl
            D MajorD         E minorEm
There are times I need you to hold on to
            C majorC   D MajorD   G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
But this time I got to hold on by myself


 C majorC                   G+G        D MajorD
I tumbled with the dustbowls across the Oklahoma plain
              G+G
Headed westward towards the mountains and the rain
  E minorEm         Asus2Asus2
The meadow of the timberline
     C majorC            D MajorD
With your image still haunting my mind


CHORUS:
 G+G          D MajorD           E minorEm
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman
            C majorC      D MajorD   G+G
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl
            D MajorD         E minorEm
There are times I need you to hold on to
            C majorC   D MajorD   G+G   E minorEm
But this time I got to hold on by myself

BRIDGE:
       A augmentedA
Take me down
       C majorC
Take me down
         D MajorD    G+G   E minorEm
Won't you please melt me down
        A augmentedA
But let me up
      C majorC
Help me up
         D MajorD   G+G
I want back on my feet again


INSTRUMENTAL: D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G  D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G


  C majorC                G+G       D MajorD
I'm going where the Rockies and the river collide
                G+G
Formed like a woman stretched across the great divide
E minorEm          Asus2Asus2
Far from the land I betrayed
  C majorC              D MajorD
And what would be the price if I stayed


CHORUS:
 G+G          D MajorD           E minorEm
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman
            C majorC      D MajorD   G+G
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl
              D MajorD         E minorEm
And there are times I need you to hold on to
            C majorC   D MajorD   G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
But this time I got to hold on by myself
   G+G   E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
