Kate Wolf - Telluride
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G D Am G Am C Am D C G B7 Em Am F D
G D Am G
On my way to the Telluride sawmill today
Am C Am D
I thought of an old friend who'd long gone away
C G B7 Em
He took to travelling when he turned seventeen
Am F D
And I stayed at home with the family
G D Am G
A collector of dreams was my old friend
Am C Am D
He talked about the times yet to come
C G B7 Em
But I took to working at the Telluride sawmill
Am F D
And I've been there since I turned twenty-one
CHORUS:
C G B7 Em
The river keeps rolling past the south county line
Am C Am D
I'd love to roll with it, but I've run out of time
C G B7 C
The days roll by like the logs at the river
Am F D
And I know I ain't getting no younger
G D Am G
We were kids growing up in the Rockies
Am C Am D
When the mountains were young and so free
C G B7 Em
He was my friend and my equal
Am F D
Though in years he was younger by three
G D Am G
We grew up in the usual fashion
Am C Am D
Never wanting to grow up at all
C G B7 Em
But I found a family and he found the rails
Am F D
He left on the train for Saint Paul
CHORUS:
C G B7 Em
The river keeps rolling past the south county line
Am C Am D
I'd love to roll with it, but I've run out of time
C G B7 C
The days roll by like the logs at the river
Am F D
And I don't often think of my old friend
INSTRUMENTAL: G D Am G Am C Am D C G B7 Em Am F D
CHORUS 2:
C G B7 Em
Mr. Preacher can you give me an answer
Am C Am D
Lord, I can't go on this way
C G B7 C
I'm getting old and I don't feel so good
Am F D
Have I just been wasting my time
G C G B7 Em
Telluride, Telluride
Am F D
Have I just been wasting my time
