Subject: "Powder River Home" by Chris LeDoux

This is one of Chris LeDoux's best songs that he has ever written. It just
has a nice flowing quality to it. I play it using a nice moderate strum. The
tune came off of Chris' "Under This Old Hat" album and anyone wanting to play
this song should first listen to the recording to get the strum down.

POWDER RIVER HOME     by Chris LeDoux
                                          Transcribed by Diron Ahlquist

[D] There's a full moon [A] risin' in the [Bm] prairie sky to[G]night

[D] Lord it's good to be on my way [A] home.

[D] Over that hori[A]zon she keeps the [Bm]home fires burin' [G]bright

I'm goin' [D]back to my [A]Powder River [D]home.

CHORUS

Where the river [Bm}winds from the [G]Big Horn's up a[D]bove

And the clear moon [Bm]shines on the [G]prairie that I [A]love

It's the [D]closest place to [A]heaven this [Bm]cowboy's ever [G]known

I'm goin' [D]back to my [A]Powder River [D]home.


[D]Travelin' round the [A]country for a [Bm]dozen years or [G]more

[D]Funny how your point of view can [A]change

[D]I finally found the [A]rainbow that [Bm]I've been searchin' [G]for

It's right a[D]bove my [A]home out on the [D]range.

CHORUS

I'm goin' [D]back to my [A]Powder River [D]home.
