 Subject: West of Yesterday    4/4    (Don Edwards)
 This one was written by Don Edwards. Don doesn't fancy himself as much of a
 song writer, but I think this ones pretty dang good. He tells a pretty good
 story about that last day of Tom Mixes life and how it inspired this song.
 (D) In the evening  twi (Em) light (C-A7)
 Melancholy shadows (D) stray
 Down the trail of mem (Em) ories (C-A7)
 From west of yester (D) day
 The nights a time for dream (Em) ing (C-A7)
 Back to days of long (D) ago
 To my favorite cowboy (Em) hero (C- A7)
 And that famous horse he (D) rode (D7)
 
 (G) He rode the open range
 (D) Across the silver screen
 Down (E7) sawdust trails thru purple sage
 And in (A7) a young mans dreams
 Dreams don't last for (Em) ever (C-A7)
 But the memories never (D) die
 Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7)
 Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride
 
 (D) I remember his last sun (Em) down (C-A7)
 As he watched that crimson dersert (D) sky
 Do you think he knew the mourning (Em) dove
 were singing their last good (D) bye
 Do you think he chose this place to (Em) die (C-A7)
 Did he plan his des (D) tiny
 The answers in the desert (Em) wind (C-A7)
 Where his spirit still rides (D) free (D7)
 
 (G) Now he rides on heavens range
 Beyond (D) the mountains purple haze
 Down (E7) stardust trails thru golden clouds
 And in (A7) that land of endless days
 For its the place where dreams come (Em) true (C-A7)
 And the memories never (D) die
 Out there west of yester (Em) day (C-A7)
 Where Tom Mix will always (D) ride
 Out there west of Yester (Em) day (C-A7)
 Where Tom Mix & Tony will always (D) ride
