Rainbow On The Rio Colorado
Recorded by Slim Whitman
Written by Gene Autry and Fred Rose
 
C                        F       C
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
                          A7            D7   G7
There's a haze around the western Texas moon
        C                F       C
Someone waits beside the Rio Colorado
                         G7            C
Cause I promised to come back to Texas soon
 
         F
When the dawn comes breaking through
     C
This lonesome buckaroo
        D7                            G7
Will be riding down a trail I used to roam
          C              F       C
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado 
                      G7            C
And it calls me to my western Texas home
 
         F
When the dawn comes breaking through
     C
This lonesome buckaroo
        D7                            G7
Will be riding down a trail I used to roam
          C              F       C
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
                      G7            C
And it calls me to my western Texas home
 
                      G7            C
Yes it calls me to my western Texas home
