 Subject: Along The Santa Fe Trail
 I feel that the beauty of the
 music to this song, besides fitting the
 lyrics perfectly, is the fact that even though the chords are simple and
 straight-forward, the vocalist occasionally sings the ADDITIONAL notes that
 make the chords unique - e.g., on the first word, "Angels", the vocalist
 sings an A note with a C chord, creating a C 6th.  Alice

 ALONG THE SANTA FE TRAIL  (key of C) by Cubin/Coolidge/Grosz
 As sung by Jimmy Wakley on "Legendary Singing Cowboys", The Life, Times &
 Music Series, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., 1995
 
 [C] Angels -- come to paint the desert [A-] nightly
 When the moon is gleaming [F] brightly [F-]
 Along the [F]Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail
 Stardust - scattered all along the [A-] highway
 On a rainbow colored [F] skyway [F-]
 Along the [F] Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail
 
 Be - [F] side you - I'm riding [F-] every hill and dale
 While shadows [C] hide you - just like a [D7] pretty purple veil
 [G7] Thereby hangs a tail.
 
 I've [C] found you - and the mountains that sur- [A-] round you
 Are the walls I built a - [F] round you [F-]
 Along the [F] Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail
 
 Be - [F] side you - I'm riding [F-] every hill and dale
 While shadows [C] hide you - just like a [D7] pretty purple veil
 [G7] Thereby hangs a tail.
 
 I've [C] found you - and the mountains that sur- [A-] round you
 Are the walls I built a - [F] round you [F-]
 Along the [F] Santa [G7] Fe [C] Trail
