Along The Santa Fe Trail (failed - reindex) Jimmy Wakely
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
