Theme For An Imaginary Western (J.Bruce)

[Note: modified from Wiggins Crew's tab.]

intro: A   A/G#   F#m      A   A/G# F#m

         A     A/G#        F#m
When the wagons leave the city

         B    B/A          G
for the forest and further on

         A     A/G#   F#m
Painted wagons of the morning,

        B                    D
dusty roads where they have gone

          A         A/G#            F#m
Sometimes travellin' through the darkness,

           B     B(A)    G
met the summer comin' home

       A    A/G#    F#m
Fallen faces by the wayside,

F#m/E       D        B         A    A/G#
looked as if they might have known

Chorus:
             F#m        C#m
Oh the sun was in their eyes,

        F#m        C#m
and the desert was dry

               D
In the country towns,

A                  F#m      B        D
where their laughter sounds

       A     A/G#        F#m
Oh the dancing and the singing

        B    B/A          G
and the music when they played

       A     A/G#   F#m
Oh the fires that they started

          B                  D
along the trail with no regrets

A         A/G#               F#m            B
Sometimes they found it,      sometimes they kept it

      B/A               G
Often lost it along the way

             A    A/G#    F#m
Fought each other to possess it,

F#m/E       D        B         A    A/G#
often blind to the light of day

       F#m               C#m
Oh the sun was in their eyes,

F#m              C#m
and the desert was dry

               D
In the country towns,

A                  F#m      B        D
where their laughter sounds

Oh the sun was in their eyes,

and the desert was dry

               D
In the country towns,

A                  F#m      B        D
where their laughter sounds
