A D A The cowboy's lady is crying D E tonight because the cowboy is out on the range A D A Running and rambling and chasing B E some stray and good cowboys don't ever change I tried to hold him in the home corral, but the grasses were greener outside So I'm going to sit here in front of this door And I've loaded up my cowboy's forty-four When the smoke clears there'll be a new brand on his eyes This is my cowboy's last ride Chorus: D A Oh I hate to see him go but D E I won't be staying home crying D A D I hate to watch him die but A E A this is my cowboy's last ride Cowboy remembers the old trails we rode and he's back in the saddle tonight This time I'm letting the home fires burn out and I'm leaving when I blow out his light Because I still remember good watering holes and the places that are open and wide And I have decided he won't put me down a filly should be free for horsing around And I will no longer be hobbled and tied Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
