D                   C     G       
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
D                     C       
He'd rather spend his time out
          G                D             C   
Where the sky looks like a pearl after a rain
     G                     
Once again I see him walkin
     D                       
Once again I hear him talking
       Em            
To the stars he makes
C                   G       
And asking them for bus fare
D                   C     G       
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado


[Chorus]
D                    C            G      
He'd rather play his banjo in the morning
         D                C   
When the moon is scarcely gone
       G                      
In the dawn the subways comin'
       D                      
In the dawn I hear him hummin'
         Em               C               G     
Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon
D                   C     G       
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado

[Chorus]
D                   C     G       
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
D                   C   
I guess he'd rather work
          G              D       
Out where the only thing you earn
            C    
Is what you spend
       G                   
In the end up in his office
       D                
In the end a quiet cough
          Em7 Em     
Is all he has to show
C                    G   
He lives in New York City
