[Verse 1]
D
Take me down in a stagecoach,
A               D
Down to la diligence,
Bm            G               A        D
There were my heart is in the southern hills,


[Verse 2]
D
All wheels keep on a-rolling,
A               D
Down to la dilligence
Bm            G              A       D
Where you can chase away the evening chills.


[Verse 3]
D              A
A name in neon light,
     D                    A
Will lead you through the night,

Shining from a-far,
   D            A
It looks like a star.

And the coachman whispered to page you,
A               D
Down to la diligence,
Bm           G           A        D
He takes you riding to a world of dreams.

G          D/F#
Dancing, romancing,
    Em                 Bm
The lights turned down low,
    G                D/F# Bm
The nights young and sway-ing,
E                   A
Favourite bands are playing.


[Verse 6]
G              D/F#
Shining lights glancing,
Em        F#
Candles a-glow,
G         D/F#   G      Em  A      D
Beautiful people are to see-ee the show.


[Verse 6]
D                  A
Dancing the night away,

Good times are here to stay,
D              A      D     A   B7
Rolling on the sea of harmony.
