                              G                   D 
The western prairie stretches far away from home 
                          G 
Lose your troubles in the big sky 
            Em                           Asus2   C 
Thought I'd move along like the ranchers do 
                   D                  C 
Stake a claim on a quiet space or two 


                  G                           D 
Miles away, still I recall your face and your lines 
         G 
I once resided in a place 
      Em                      Asus2    
Where riverboats lined up the big muddy shore 
  C                             D   
Until I couldn't stand my sunny South anymore 

   
  G                    D                      Em 
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman 
                        C           D    G 
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl 
                       D                  Em 
There are times I need you to hold on to 
                       C      D     G  Em  C  D  G  Em  C  D 
But this time I got to hold on by myself 

  
  C                                     G               D 
I tumbled with the dustbowls across the Oklahoma plain 
                            G 
Headed westward towards the mountains and the rain 
    Em                  Asus2 
The meadow of the timberline 
          C                       D   
With your image still haunting my mind 

  
  G                    D                      Em 
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman 
                        C           D     G 
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl 
                       D                  Em 
There are times I need you to hold on to 
                       C      D     G      Em  
But this time I got to hold on by myself 

  
Bridge: 
              A 
Take me down 
              C 
Take me down 
                 D       G     Em 
Won't you please melt me down 
               A 
But let me up 
            C 
Help me up 
                  D     G 
I want back on my feet again 


Instrumental: D  Em  C  G   D  Em  C  D  G 

  
    C                               G              D 
I'm going where the Rockies and the river collide 
                               G 
Formed like a woman stretched across the great divide 
Em                    Asus2 
Far from the land I betrayed 
    C                           D   
And what would be the price if I stayed 

  
  G                    D                      Em 
Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman 
                        C           D     G 
I don't want to be your Mississippi girl 
                           D                  Em 
And there are times I need you to hold on to 
                       C      D     G  Em  C  D  G  Em  C  D   
But this time I got to hold on by myself 
     G     Em  C  D  G 
By myself
