I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado
Performed by John Denver
Written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Danoff
D C G
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
D C
He'd rather spend his time out where
G D C
the sky looks like a pearl after a rain
G
Once again I see him walkin
D
Once again I hear him talking
Em
to the stars he makes
C G
And asking them for bus fare
D C G
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
D C
He'd rather play his banjo
G D C
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
Some old song he wrote
C G
of love in Boulder Canyon
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado...
[instrumental using verse chords]
D C G
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
D C
I guess he'd rather work out where
G D C
the only thing you earn is what you spend
G
In the end up in his office
D
In the end a quiet cough
Em
is all he has to show
C G
He lives in New York City
D C G
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
D C G
