Intro: G 
  
                            C                D 
Well, I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight  
      C                 D                     G  
Those truckers they all flash their lights at me  
                       C            D 
This highway ain't the very best companion  
         C                      D               G 
'Cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be  
  
  
                     C                 D 
The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking  
          C              D                G     D 
'Bout the way your smile shines upon your face  
      G                   C                 D 
And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking  
  C               D             G 
Before I reach my final resting place  
  
  
Chorus: 
    A11 C               F              G 
Oh, I   wish that I was in your arms a-sleeping  
                C                  D 
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made  
        G                 C                D 
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight  
C             D             G 
Wishing I was in your arms again

                          C                 D 
Oh, my wheels are running hard against this mountain  
  C                   D         G     D 
I finally crossed the Archuleta line  
 G               C               D 
Another hour and I'll be with my darling 
   C                  D                     G 
To dry those lonesome tears that she's been crying 
  
  
Chorus: 
    A11 C               F              G 
But I   wish that I was in your arms a-sleeping  
                C                  D 
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made  
        G                 C                D 
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight  
C             D             G 
Wishing I was in your arms again

A-wishing I was in your arms again
