D C G I guess he'd rather be in Colorado D C G D C He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after rain G Once again I see him walkin', D Once again I hear him talking, Em C G to the stars he makes and asking them for bus fares
D C G I guess he'd rather be in Colorado D C G D C He'd rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone G In the dawn the subways comin', D In the dawn I hear him hummin' Em C G Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon
D C G I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
Instrumental: D C G D C G
D C G I guess he'd rather be in Colorado D C G D C I guess he'd rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend G In the end up in his office, D Em In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show, C G He lives in New York City
