Wakley Jimmy - Along The Santa Fe Trail guitar tab

I feel that the beauty of the

music to this song, besides fitting the

lyrics perfectly, is the fact that even though the chords are simple and

straight-forward, the vocalist occasionally sings the ADDITIONAL notes that

make the chords unique - e.g., on the first word, "Angels", the vocalist

sings an A note with a C chord, creating a C 6th. Alice

ALONG THE SANTA FE TRAIL (key of C) by Cubin/Coolidge/Grosz

As sung by Jimmy Wakley on "Legendary Singing Cowboys", The Life, Times &

Music Series, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., 1995

[C] Angels -- come to paint the desert [A-] nightly

When the moon is gleaming [F] brightly [F-]

Along the [F]Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail

Stardust - scattered all along the [A-] highway

On a rainbow colored [F] skyway [F-]

Along the [F] Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail

Be - [F] side you - I'm riding [F-] every hill and dale

While shadows [C] hide you - just like a [D7] pretty purple veil

[G7] Thereby hangs a tail.

I've [C] found you - and the mountains that sur- [A-] round you

Are the walls I built a - [F] round you [F-]

Along the [F] Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail

Be - [F] side you - I'm riding [F-] every hill and dale

While shadows [C] hide you - just like a [D7] pretty purple veil

[G7] Thereby hangs a tail.

I've [C] found you - and the mountains that sur- [A-] round you

Are the walls I built a - [F] round you [F-]

Along the [F] Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail
