I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado

D                 C         G 
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado 
      D                C                   
he'd rather spend his time out where the 
G                D             C 
sky looks like a pearl after a rain  
      G                            D 
once again I see him walking once again I hear him talking 
       Em                 C               G 
to the stars he makes and asking them for busfare 
 
 
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado 
he'd rather play his banjo in the 
morning when the moon is scarcely gone 
in the dawn the subway's coming in the dawn I hear him humming 
some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon 
 
  
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado 
I guess he'd rather work out where the  
only thing you earn is what you spend 
in the end up in his office in the end a quiet cough is 
all he has to show he lives in New York City
