  D                 C          G
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
     D                C                  G                D           C
He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after rain 
      G            
Once again I see him walkin',
      D                       
Once again I hear him talking,
       Em                 C               G  
to the stars he makes and asking them for bus fares

He'd rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone
       G
In the dawn the subways comin',
       D
In the dawn I hear him hummin'
         Em               C               G
Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon

I guess he'd rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend
       G                    
In the end up in his office,
       D                           Em    
In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show,
   C                 G
He lives in New York City
