The grass is growin (Em) tall
The (F) river is (C) rollin (G) along
The (C) cattle are (Em) fat

On the point of a (Em) mesa
And (F) survey all the (C) beauty (G) below
An (C) eagle screams (Em) down
To (F) his friends on the (C) ground
Its time to be (G) beddin (C) down

Its colors on the (Em) mesa
And (F) on the river (C) canyon (G) wall
>From (C) somewhere far (Em) away
