                Tumbling Tumbleweeds by Bob Nolan

Prelude:

        C                     F              C
        I'm a roaming cowboy, riding all day long
        G7                    C
        Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.
        F                           C Cm6 A7
        Nights underneath a prairie moon,
        D7                      G
        I ride alone and sing a tune.

Chorus:

        F                      F7
        See them tumbling down,
        E                                 E7
        Pledging their love to the ground,
        F                       C        C#dim
        Lonely but free I'll be found
        G7                               C         C+
        Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

        F                           F7
        Cares of the past are behind,
        E                           E7
        Nowhere to go but I'll find
        F                         C      C#dim
        Just where the trail will wind,
        G7                               C         C+
        Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

          Fm6  G7             C           Am6# B7             Em  B7  G7
        I know when night has gone that a new world's born at dawn,

        F                       F7
        I'll keep rolling along,
        E                           E7
        Deep in my heart is a song,
        F                     C      C#dim
        Here on the range I belong,
        G7                               C     C7  C+
        Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

Repeat from Chorus to end

Last time add:

        G7                               C
        Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
