[Intro]
D A G D Em G C A  G D F#7 G Em G A
 
[Verse 1]
      D          A         G         D
On my way to the Telluride sawmill today,
  Em            G                C          A
I thought of an old friend who’d long gone away.
G          D              F#7            G
He took to traveling when he turned seventeen,
    Em          G           A
And I stayed at home with a family.
 
[Verse 2]
     D         A             G           D
A collector of dreams was my old friend.
   Em            G           A
He looked to the days yet to come.
    G         D              F#7       G
And I took to working at the Telluride sawmill,
         Em               G               A
And I’ve been there since I turned twenty-one.
 
[Chorus]
    G           D                F#7          G
The river keeps rolling past the south county line.
    Em           G                 C          A
I’d love to roll with it, but I’ve run out of time.
G         D           F#7         G
Days roll by like the logs on the river,
      Em           G          A
And I know I ain’t getting no younger.
 
[Verse 3]
        D            A         G        D
We were kids growing up in the Rockies,
         Em             G            A
When the mountains were young and so free.
G         D             F#7    G
He was my friend and my equal,
          Em           G          A
Though in years he was younger by three.
 
[Verse 4]
   D              A     G        D
We grew up in the usual fashion,
      Em         G          A
Never wanting to grow up at all.
G        D           F#7          G
I took a family, and he found the rails,
       Em          G             A
And he left on the train for St. Paul.
 
[Chorus]
    G           D                F#7          G
The river keeps rolling past the south county line.
    Em           G                 C          A
I’d love to roll with it, but I’ve run out of time.
G         D           F#7         G
Days roll by like the logs on the river,
      Em          G           A
And I don’t often think of my old friend.

    G                D          F#7  G
Mr. Preacher can you give me an an---swer,
       Em           G          A
‘Cause Lord I can’t go on this way.
G           D            F#7           G
I’m getting tired, and I don’t feel so good.
     Em          G          A
Have I just been wasting my time?
     D
Telluride.
     G    D   F#7 G
Telluri---i---i---ide.
     Em          G          A
Have I just been wasting my time?
     D
Telluride.
