West Of Yesterday

Don Edwards


Tom: D

D                   Em
In the evening twi light (C-A7)
                   D
Melancholy shadows stray
                      Em
Down the trail of mem ories (C-A7)
                    D
From west of yester day
                            Em
The nights a time for dream ing (C-A7)
                     D
Back to days of long ago
                      Em
To my favorite cowboy hero (C- A7)
                         D    D7
And that famous horse he rode

G
He rode the open range
D
Across the silver screen
     E7
Down sawdust trails thru purple sage
       A7
And in a young mans dreams
                      Em
Dreams don't last for ever (C-A7)
                       D
But the memories never die
                         Em
Out there west of yester day (C-A7)
                          D
Where Tom Mix will always ride

D                       Em
I remember his last sun down (C-A7)
                                   D
As he watched that crimson dersert sky
                                  Em
Do you think he knew the mourning dove
                             D
were singing their last good bye
                                    Em
Do you think he chose this place to die (C-A7)
                    D
Did he plan his des tiny
                          Em
The answers in the desert wind (C-A7)
                             D    D7
Where his spirit still rides free

G
Now he rides on heavens range
       D
Beyond the mountains purple haze
     E7
Down stardust trails thru golden clouds
       A7
And in that land of endless days
                                    Em
For its the place where dreams come true (C-A7)
                       D
And the memories never die
                         Em
Out there west of yester day (C-A7)
                          D
Where Tom Mix will always ride
                         Em
Out there west of Yester day (C-A7)
                                 D
Where Tom Mix & Tony will always ride
