Latter Day Cowboy

Intro:
G    Am   G/B  C
G/B  Am   G    C   G
Verse 1:
          G          C/G         G   G/B
When the boy was no more than a shaver
     D            D7     G   G/B
His old man told many a tale
          G             C           G    G/B
How his great granddad used to go drovin’
           D                D7       G
Back and forth on the old Chisholm Trail
          C
Now you might say the boy got infected
                         G
By a fantasy of the old west
         A7
For his heart and his soul got connected
       D                        D7
To a spirit that won’t let him rest
Chorus:
    G              G/B           C    D
Now he don’t wear spurs that go jingle
    G               G/B             C   D
He don’t spend his nights ‘round a fire
     G          G/B         C      D       Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D
And it’s diesel oil that his horses require
G        G/B        C    D
He is a latter day cowboy
G             G/B           C  D
Dressed as a truck drivin’ man
G            G/B            C    D       G
Drivin’ his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne

Verse 2:
         G           C           G     G/B
He beds down by the side of the highway
         D           D7            G   C
At the sight of the first evenin’ star
         G           C        G   G/B
In the darkness his big pony idles
        D      D7         G
As he quietly strums his guitar
        C
And he sings out a song of his sweetheart
                                G
Even as her sweet mem’ry grows dim
        A7
And he sings of the trail he has chosen
         D                  D7
But the actual fact is the trail chose him
