Ricky Nelson — My Rifle, Pony And Me

G                       C  
Purple light in the canyons 
             G            D7  
That's where I long to be 
 
 G                      C  
With my three good companions 
      G            D7      G  
Just my rifle, pony and me 
 
 G                 C  
Gonna hang my sombrero 
         G          D7  
On the limb of a tree 
 
        G                  C  
Comin' home, sweetheart darlin' 
          G        D7     G  
Just my rifle, pony and me 
 
 G                     C  
Whippoorwill in the willow 
         G         D7  
Sings a sweet melody 
 
 G              C  
Ridin' to Amarillo 
          G        D7     G  
Just my rifle, pony and me. 
 
 G                     C  
No more cows to be ropin' 
        G              D7  
No more strays will I see 
 
          G                 C  
Round the bend she'll be waitin' 
         G        D7     G  
For my rifle, pony and me 
         G           D7    G  
For my rifle, my pony and me.
