A          E        Fm      E 
It's a cold, cold moon out tonight 
            D           A            Fm 
And it's a cold, cold point on your knife 
         D            A         A   E      G        D 
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light? 
 
Chorus: 
           C             G               D           A 
And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone 
       G             D           D     A    C      G 
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home 
         C             G          Em          F  C  
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail 
      F      C       G 
Ohh, life is better there 
 
       G          D        Em      D 
It's a cold, cold moon out tonight 
            C           G            Em 
And it's a cold, cold point on your knife 
         C            G         G   D      F        C 
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light? 
 
           Bb            F               C           G 
And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone 
       F             C           C     G    Bb     F 
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home 
         Bb            F          Dm          Eb  Bb  
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail 
      Eb      Bb       F 
Ohh, life is better there
