Purple light in the canyons that's where I long to be
         C          F                  C               F 
With  my three good companions just my rifle, pony and me 
      C       F               C         F 
Gonna hang my sombrero on the limb of a tree
       C               F               C      F        C 
Comin' home sweetheart darling just my rifle, pony and me 
                     F              C         F 
With the wind in the willow sings a sweet melody 
       C     F             C               F 
Ridin' to Amarillo just my rifle, pony and me 
        C          F              C             F 
No more cows to be ropin' no more strays will I see
           C              F              C      F        C 
Round  the bend she'll be waitin' for my rifle, pony and me
        C         F        C 
For  my rifle, my pony and me
