Riding Down the Canyon - please help

John Poston · From: Albuquerque, NM, USA

Anyone have the lyrics and chords for the original Gene Autry arrangement of this one?

I need to play it Wednesday night and the lyrics I've found aren't too clear what's the A and B section and where they go.

Thanks.

Ridin' Down the Canyon
by Gene Autry & Smiley Burnett

G B7 C G
When evening chores are over at our ranch house on the plain
A7 D D7
And all I've got to do is lay around
G B7 C G
I saddle up my pony and ride off down the trail
A A7 D D7 G
To watch the desert sun go down

G B7 C G
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A A7 D D7 G
A picture that no artist e'er could paint
G7 B7 G
White faced cattle lowin' on the mountian side
A A7 D D7
Hear a coyote whinin' for it's mate
G7 C D G
Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush every where
A A7 D D7
Granite spires are standin' all around
G B7
I tell you folks it's heaven
C G
To be ridin' down the trail
A A7 D D7 G
When the desert sun goes down

Roger, don't mean to horn in, but I hope this post shows the chords spaced out.
