Tumbling Tumbleweed

, Bob Nolan

6 -6   7  -7   7   6   
I'm a roam-ing cow-boy, 

-7   8  -8  -7    7
Rid-ing all day long.

 -5  6   -6   7  -6   -5 
Tum-ble weeds a-round me 

  6   -6     7  -7   7
sing their lone-ly song.

  -7   -7 -7    8   8  -8  -7    7
Nights un-der-neath a prai-rie moon,

-7  -7 -7   8   8   -8 -7  -8      
 I ride a-lone and sing a tune.

 8    8  8-8  -7     7
See them tum-bling down, 

 -8   -8   -8    -8 <-7 -7    <7
Pledg-ing their love to the ground,

 -7  -7 -7   -7   7   -6   6
Lone-ly but free I'll be found,

  7    7  7   7  <-6  -6  6 <-5  -5   6  -5    5
Drift-ing a-long with the t-um-bling tum-ble weeds.

  8    8  8    8   8 <-7  -7
Cares of the past are be-hind,

-8   -8  -8 -8 <-7  -7   <7
No-where to go but I'll find.

 -7    -7  -7  -7  7  -6    6
Just where the trail will wind,

  7    7  7   7  <-6  -6  6 <-5  -5   6  -5    5
Drift-ing a-long with the t-um-bling tum-ble weeds.

6 <-5  -5   <6   -6    6    7
 I-i  know when night has gone

  6  6 <-6   7       7 <-7  -8
that a new world's born at dawn,

  8    8    8  -8 <-7  7
I'll keep roll-ing a-long.

 -8  -8 -8   -8 <-7 -7  <7
Deep in my heart is  a song,

 -7  -7 -7   -7   7 -6   6
Here on the range I be-long

  7    7  7   7   <-6 -6  6 <-5  -5   6  -5    5
drift-ing a-long with the t-um-bling tum-ble weeds.
