Denver Tabulatur von The New Christy Minstrels (für Baryton)

C      F      C   G   C

[Verse 1]
      C
I was drivin' a rig outta Texas
                            Am
All loaded and bound for Cheyenne
C                              F
Takin' my pleasures so freely
       C           G        C
Just a good lovin' ramblin' man
  C
I had quite a way with the ladies
                            Am
"Sweet Daddy" was my middle name
       C                                  F
Till I got to a place they called Denver
      C           G              C
And I ain't never been quite the same

[Chorus]
     C                       F
I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene
     C                      Am
I've rambled through many a town
      C                         F
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C                G        C
That's where I'm settlin' down

[Verse 2]
        C
Well, I kissed her and swore that I loved her
                             Am
I told her some day she'd be mine
           C                                  F
And then I laughed all the way back to Texas--Ha-ha!
   C             G              C
To think she'd believe that old line
      C
Well, I got to pinin' for Denver
                              Am
It's funny how things come to be
   C                                 F
As I slipped the ring on her finger, well
  C             G            C
I knew that the laugh was on me

[Chorus]
     C                       F
I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene
     C                      Am
I've rambled through many a town
      C                         F
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C                G        C
That's where I'm settlin' down

[Verse 3]
    C
Now all you young fellas take warnin'
                             Am
You single men, run for your life
   C                               F
Be careful and stay out of Denver
   C                G         C
Or else you'll wind up with a wife
       C
You'll walk down the street unsuspectin'
                               Am
And you won't believe what you see
           C                              F
'Cause the prettiest gals live in Denver, Lord
C             G           C
You'll end up happy, like me

[Chorus]
     C                       F
I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene
     C                      Am
I've rambled through many a town
      C                         F
But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C                G        C
That's where I'm settlin' down

[Outro]
C      F      C   G   C
C                         F
Got me a woman in Denver, Lord
C                G        C
That's where I'm settlin' down
