Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Sarah In The Summer Chords

[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

[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

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

                           Bsus
And I'm drivin' on it once again
            A*
It might be cold and long and lonely
          A*                   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  A  E      B   E
And joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride, joyfully I ride
