intro: A A(G#) F#m A A(G#) F#m
A A(G#) F#m B B(A) G
When the wagons leave the city for the forest and further on
A A(G#) F#m B D
Painted wagons of the morning, dusty roads where they have gone
A A(G#) F#m B B(A) G
Sometimes travellin' through the darkness, met the summer comin' home
A A(G#) F#m F#m(E) D B A A(G#)
Fallen faces by the wayside, looked as if they might have known
Chorus:
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Oh the sun was in their eyes, and the desert was dry
D A F#m B D
In the country towns, where their laughter sounds
Oh the dancing and the singing and the music when they played
Oh the fires that they started along the trail with no regrets
Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
Often lost it along the way
Fought each other to possess it, often blind to the light of day
Chorus
Leslie West guitar lead, one complete verse.
Chorus
Leslie West lead, follows verse pattern ending :
A A(G#) F#m F#m(E) D B F#m

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MOUNTAIN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
