[Intro]
A E C#m B
D A F#m F#m
D A A E G D

[Verse 1]
       A          E        C#m      B
It's a cold, cold moon out tonight
            D           A            F#m
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

[Instrumental]
A  E  C#m  B

C  G  Em F  C
F  C  G

[Verse 2]
       A      E              C#m      B
It's a lonely road to travel on
            D           A            F#m
But I've stood here waiting much too long
         D                A           A   E  G     D
And I'd rather leave this minute than try to carry on

[Chorus]
           C             G               D               A
And I'd be 40 miles from Denver headed east bound on the track
       G             D           D  A  C      G
I'd be 40 miles from Denver and trying to get back
         C             G          Em          F  C
To that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
      F      C       G
Ohh, life is better there

[Verse 3]
       A          E        C#m      B
It's a cold, cold moon out tonight
            D           A            F#m
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
      F      C       G
Ohh, life is better there
      F      C       G
Ohh, life is better there
      F      C       G
Ohh, life is better there

[Notes]
- The intro tab is an approximation. It attempts to bring in the melody
  of the banjo solo. Though the rhythm guitar seems to play 'G D Bm A',
  it doesn't fit well for incorporating the melody, so I use "G D Em D'.
- Instrumental sections use "Verse + Chorus" chord sequence
