C F C Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck F C G7 He's been through the best of his friends C F C On a long lonesome highway in an ol' pickup truck F G7 C Cross Texas with a hot dusty wind He was all around cowboy 1959 From the top it's been a long way down Since the whiskey and ladies started winnin' his time They rode him high and hard to the ground Chorus: F C But he remembers the thrill of bein' a winner G7 And the feeling of bein' a beginner C In the days of his first rodeo F But there was somethin' about winnin' C that didn't last forever G7 But tomorrow it's bound to get better C He'll be the all around cowboy again The windmills are turning on the west Texas plains But he's dry as an old river bed He's just like the dust that's a searching for rain But he knows he'll be riding again So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow Wipe the whiskers that cover his chin He grins as he dreams of the next rodeo To be the all around cowboy again Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC F G7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
