Notes: - The walkdown at the end of verse one will be

(intro)
(2x)
/
Sing songs of the sunrise into the nigh
/
the stars as a timepiece make it all right
/
Make friends with the darkness, talk to the moon
and when the light lifts,
Asus4 A A/g# A/f# A/e D D/c# E (Esus4)
you can let out a tune
/
Then to the mountains, climbed through the sky
/
They showed there their whiteness, watched their gold fly
/
Shared in their treasures, shook at their might
A Asus4 / C ( walkdown #2)
Spoke softly in wonders... cowboy's delight
(walkdown #2 : my best attempt at transcribing what is
probably a two-guitar part)
