Lonesome Cowboy

  C
I own this horse and saddle
F             C
And that old Cadillac
C
This broken down horse trailer
  D                 G
And the clothes that are on my back
  F                     C
I know that it ain't a hell of a lot
G
But it's all that I can show
 F       C        G         C
For 17 years making my living ridin' the rodeo
 C
My wife left me five years ago
 F                   C
In one of those rodeo towns
I can't say that I blame her much
   D                G
She just wanted to settle down
   F                C
Oh God how I miss that woman
                 G
It hurt so to see her go
    F                     C
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
   G               C
But I'm hooked on this rodeo

    F                C
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
                    G
I'm a little bit over the hill
   F                       C
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
    D             C
But I guess I never will
    C
So I keep on movin from show to show
 F              C
Hopin to change my luck
  G                   C
My good ol days are just a memory
 G                    C
But I just can't give it up

There was a time I used to do alright
      G                  D
And bring home my share of the dough
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys
      E            A
I guess I must be gettin slow
  G                       D
If there's one thing you learn from this
                   A
You gotta make it on your own
       G                         D
Cause when your on top you've got a million friends
      A                       D
But when your down buddy you're all alone

  G                   D
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
                     A
I'm a little bit over the hill
          G                 D
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
      E         A
But I guess I never will
       D
So I keep on movin from show to show
   G            D
Hopin to change my luck
     G
My good old days are just a memory
  A
But I just can't give it up
 G
My good ole days are all a memory
   D                    A
but I just cain't give it up.
