Mendocino County Line chords by Willie Nelson

Capo on 1st fret.**



INTRO D Bm G


VERSE I

D               Bm
We counted the stars on the fourth of July,
G                A
Wishin' we were rockets burstin into the sky.
D                Bm
Talkin' about the redemption...leavin' things behind,
    G          A         D   Bm  G  A
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.

D                  Bm
As fierce as Monday mornin' feelin' washed away
G             A
I orchestrated paradise but couldn't make you stay.
D                  Bm
You dance with horses, through the sands of time
    G           A         D
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino county line.


CHORUS

G                       A
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
             G               A
To remind me of a time. These pictures and these photographs
            G               Bm
Let me know I'm doing fine. I used to make you happy once
           G          A         D  Bm  G  A
Upon a time but the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.


VERSE II
D               Bm
The two of us together, felt nothing but right
G              A
Feelin' near immortal every Friday night.
D               Bm
Lost in our convictions, lips stained with wine
    G          A        D
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.


CHORUS II

G                       A
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
             G               A
To remind me of a time. These pictures and these photographs
            G               Bm
Let me know I'm doing fine. I used to make you happy once
           G          A         D
Upon a time but the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line.

BRIDGE

C                 G
I don't talk to you too much these days
C                   D
I just thank the Lord pictures don't fade
C          G
I spent with an angel just passing through
A
Now all that's left is this image of you.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
G   A   G   A  Bm  A  G

VERSE III

D               Bm
We counted the stars on the fourth of July,
G                A
Wishin' we were rockets burstin into the sky.
D                Bm
Talkin' about the redemption...leavin' things behind

REPEAT CHORUS

Bm      G          A         D    Bm  G
  But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line,
A         D Bm G   A        D
Mendocino county line, oh the Mendocino county line.

TAG on D, Bm, G and A until the end.
