Ridin` Down The Canyon

Words and Music by Gene Autry and Smiley Burnett

 8 8     8  b8   -8-8  -7   7    7  -6   7  6
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
6  -6-7    7   -6  -7 7   -8   8     7
A picture that no artist ere could paint
  8     8    8b8   -8-8   7   7   -6  7    6
White faced cattle lowin' on the mountain side
6  -6 -7  7-6    -7 7   -8   8   -8
I hear a coyote whinin' for its mate

 -8-8    b-7  b-7  6  5     -6  -6   b-7-7   7 
Cactus plants are bloomin' sagebrush every where
 -8 -8    -8   -8   8 -8     7  -6 -8
Granite spires are standin' all around
6   8   8    8    b8   -8-8  -7 -7  7 7    -6
I tell you folks it's Heaven to be ridin' down
 7    6
the trail
-6   -7   7 -6   7   -8   7
When the desert sun goes down

(The rest of the song follows the notes above)
 
When evening chores are over at our ranch house on the plain
And all I've got to do is lay around
I saddle up my pony and I ride off down the trail
To watch the desert sun go down
 
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A picture that no artist ever could paint
White faced cattle lowin' on the mountain side
I hear a coyote whinin' for its mate
 
Cactus plants are bloomin' sagebrush every where
Granite spires are standin' all around
I tell you folks it's Heaven to be ridin' down the trail
When the desert sun goes down
 
Cactus plants are bloomin' sagebrush every where
Granite spires are standin' all around
I tell you folks it's Heaven to be ridin' down the trail
When the desert sun goes down
