Colorado

[Intro] C# - 4 bars        x2 [Verse 1]   I was only seventeen   just a small town beauty queen when a handsome guy went and got my eye. Such a sight to see!    He said such a pretty  face   ought to see a far-off place a place where eagles fly where mountains touch the sky a place so wild and free. [Chorus] Oh oh oh Colorado You got me messing with a desperado. My mama told me I was crazy to go When you’re in love you’re such a fool don’t you know Oh oh oh Colorado I gave my life away with nothing to show and now I’m living with a man and a gun. I’m just a fool on the run!        [Verse 2]   All the pretty things he said   Took my heart went to my head    But the soft gui-tars the nights beneath the stars  were a fanta- sy.      He had such a "wanted" face.    Wanted in most every place! I’m nothing in his hands -This devil’s not the man. That’s what he lies with me. [Chorus] Oh oh oh Colorado You got me messing with a desperado. My mama told me I was crazy to go. When you’re in love you’re such a fool don’t you know Oh oh oh Colorado I gave my life away with nothing to show and now I’m living with a man and a gun. I’m just a fool on the run! [Final Chorus]   Oh oh oh Colorado You got me messing with a desperado My mamma told me I was crazy to go When you’re in love you’re such a fool don’t you know Oh oh oh Colorado I gave my life away with nothing to show. And now I’m living with a man and a gun. I’m just a fool on the run!
