Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are 2 electric & 2 acoustic guitars in this one. I'm going to show you just the chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

By the way, I interpreted these chords from listening to the LP - I did not use any other written music as an aid in writing the tab presented on this page. If you think that I have made a mistake, please let me know about it by dropping me a quick note.

Click here if you want only the lyrics.

THE CHORDS:

A   E   G   D   A   E   G   A
(GUITAR & BASS INTRO)


        A  E          G    D  
with a sky blue and a cold ground

      A        E              G    D  
and a windmill stalled in mid-air
   
   A           E      G          D
we head across Kansas on our way home

    A     E               G    A
Colorado, thank you, good-bye
 


A           E              G         D 
Kansas, you fooler, you're makin' me smile

            A     E             G         D      
'cause I've never seen you this way before

    A            E                G              D
you sure do look better when it's this way we're headed

A              E            G   A
home sure will feel good to me
 
    G           A              F#m        G  
but I'm lookin' farther to the girl at my door

       Asus4                A
with a smile I'm waitin' to see

    G             A          F#m         G

ahhha, ahhha, ahhha, ahhha
