Indian summer  
Abilene 
You were new in town  
I was nineteen  
G 
And sparks flew  
C 
They called us crazy  
Behind our backs  
"Romantic fools"  
We just let them laugh  
G 
Because we knew  
            Bm   Em 
It may be a long shot 
           C              G 
We may be lonely down the line  
               Bm    Em 
But love knows no reason  
Am          Bm       C          D 
And I won't let them make up my mind  
 
Chorus: 
Em         D              C           G 
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby  
C           G                Em    D 
My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one  
Em                          C             G 
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday  
       C  G 
If we let this  
C        D          Cx2  G 
Let this dark horse run  
C 
Stars are brighter  
In a desert sky  
No need to wonder 
Or justify  
G 
Where this will lead  
C 
I wear your locket  
Our picture's inside 
Inscription says, "The joy's in the ride"  
G 
And I believe  
          Bm Em 
Something so sacred  
             C                  G 
Is something worth this kind of fight  
                 Bm Em 
Cause love knows no patience  
Am     		 Bm       C       D 
You can't please everyone all the time  
Chorus: 
Em         D              C           G 
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby  
C           G                Em    D

Em                          C             G 
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday  
       C  G 
If we let this  
C        D          Cx2  G 
Let this dark horse run  
   C 
So rare  
   G 
So sweet  
C                G 
Together baby  I know 
   C                D 
We can (yes we can) be free
