Edwards Don - West Of Yesterday guitar tab

This one was written by Don Edwards. Don doesn't fancy himself as much of a

song writer, but I think this ones pretty dang good. He tells a pretty good

story about that last day of Tom Mixes life and how it inspired this song.

(D) In the evening twi (Em) light (C-A7)

Melancholy shadows (D) stray

Down the trail of mem (Em) ories (C-A7)

From west of yester (D) day

The nights a time for dream (Em) ing (C-A7)

Back to days of long (D) ago

To my favorite cowboy (Em) hero (C- A7)

And that famous horse he (D) rode (D7)

(G) He rode the open range

(D) Across the silver screen

Down (E7) sawdust trails thru purple sage

And in (A7) a young mans dreams

Dreams don't last for (Em) ever (C-A7)

But the memories never (D) die

Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7)

Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride

(D) I remember his last sun (Em) down (C-A7)

As he watched that crimson dersert (D) sky

Do you think he knew the mourning (Em) dove

were singing their last good (D) bye

Do you think he chose this place to (Em) die (C-A7)

Did he plan his des (D) tiny

The answers in the desert (Em) wind (C-A7)

Where his spirit still rides (D) free (D7)

(G) Now he rides on heavens range

Beyond (D) the mountains purple haze

Down (E7) stardust trails thru golden clouds

And in (A7) that land of endless days

For its the place where dreams come (Em) true (C-A7)

And the memories never (D) die

Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7)

Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride

Out there west of Yester (Em) day (C-A7)

Where Tom Mix & Tony will always (D) ride
