[Intro]
(Guitar and Mandolin (picked) - 8 measures)
E5
[Verse 1]
E
I've driven this road as a stranger
A
I've driven this road as a friend
E
I've driven this road as a slack jawed tourist
Bsus
And I'm drivin' on it once again
A
It might be cold and long and lonely
B
But she's waiting on the other side
E A
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
B E A E B E
And joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride
[Transition 1]
A E
And I climb from George Town to Silver Plume
B E
The tunnel at Loveland's cold
A E
The lake on the left is a little lower
F# B
And 9 is the Breckenridge road
A
There's a sign right below Copper Mountain
Bsus B
Telling whether Independence runs free
E A
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
B E A E B E
And that's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
[Instrumental]
(Guitar, Mandolin, Harmonica)
E A E B Bsus B E A B E A E B E
[Verse 2]
E
In the evening shadow of Red Butte
A
Up the lane from the Slaughter House bridge
E
The first cabin the moonlight strikes
Bsus
As it crests the cleft in Hunter Crick Ridge
A
Up from between old Red and Smuggler
B Bsus
Rising high on a piano bench there
E A
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
B E A E B E
And what lies between beware, what lies between beware
[Transition 2]
E E/Gb E7/Ab A E
Oh, and the red sandstone sentinels rising high on either side
Bsus
As I follow the eagle valley through the canyon where the saints reside
A B Bsus
And Mount Sopris massive majesty south and East out of Glenwood Springs
E A
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
B E A E B E
Where the Roaring river sings, the Roaring river sings
[Interlude]
(Guitar, Mandolin)

I've driven this road as a stranger

I've driven this road as a friend
E
I've driven this road as a slack jawed tourist

It might be cold and long and lonely

But she's waiting on the other side
E A
And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer
B E A E B E A E B E
And joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride
