Verse 1:
E minorEm      G+G       D MajorD        A minorAm
Early fall descended on the dry back country Aspens
  E minorEm      G+G         C majorC
It could be any time now that the bulls start bugling
 E minorEm          G+G         D MajorD        A minorAm
I watched the pack mule panniers, see the loads are riding even
E minorEm     G+G       A minorAm
Is it in my mind or did I finally hear one sing?

Verse 2:
     E minorEm        G+G         D MajorD         A minorAm
It's been ten years since I first came to the mountains with my father
 E minorEm        G+G       C majorC
A augmentedA half pint in each saddle bag and stars in both my eyes
    E minorEm        G+G        D MajorD     A minorAm
I don't miss the taste of liquor or really anything about it
    E minorEm    G+G       A minorAm
But the temporary shelter was a welcome compromise

C majorC G+G         D MajorD        A minorAm
Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in

A augmentedA little elevation and an open-ended prayer
C majorC G+G      D MajorD         A minorAm
Holdin' out for more than breakin' even
C majorC  G+G        D MajorD           A minorAm         C majorC
I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there

Verse 3:
  E minorEm        G+G        D MajorD         A minorAm
The bull had come in tight and he was screamin' in dark timber
    E minorEm         G+G        C majorC
I could see his brown eyes movin', hear him breathin' as he wheeled
   E minorEm       G+G        D MajorD         A minorAm
But tomorrow full of promise, I just lived there in the moment
E minorEm        G+G        A minorAm
Hunted back door camp for enough grouse to make a meal

I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
