[Intro]
G Bm Em
 
[Verse 1]
         G     Bm         Em
When the wagons leave the city
         A                  F
for the forest, and further on
         G    Bm      Em
Painted wagons of the morning
       A                    C
dusty roads where they have gone
          G        Bm           Em
Sometimes travelling through the darkness
        A             F
met the summer coming home
        G   Bm      Em
Fallen faces by the wayside
          C        Am         G     Bm
Looked as if they might have known
 
[Chorus]
      Em         Bm
O the sun was in their eyes
      Em            Bm
and the desert that dries
       C       G
In the country towns
          Em       A      B C
where the laughter sounds
 
[Verse 2]
      G      Bm       Em
O the dancing and the singing
      A               F
O the music when they played
      G    Bm         Em
O the fires that they started
      A             C
O the girls with no regret
      G                Bm
Sometimes they found it
               Em
Sometimes they kept it
      A              F
Often lost it on the way
            G    Bm     Em
Fought each other to possess it
         C       Am        G   Bm
Sometimes died in sight of day
 
[Chorus]
      Em         Bm
O the sun was in their eyes
      Em            Bm
and the desert that dries
       C       G
In the country towns
          Em       A      B C
where the laughter sounds
 
[Outro]
G Bm Em A F G Bm
Em C Am Em

Also - it sounds like it ends on an E instead of a G :)

The mystery chord is Am. I think there's also a D chord before the C: G Bm Em Fallen faces by the wayside D C Am G Bm Looked as if they might have known although it may merely be implied by the bass. It doesn't sound out of place on guitar though. Ends on Em. Very good otherwise.
