Intro: D G A D (x2)
verse 1
D G A D
I'm out here chasin' these rainbows that I need to find,
D G A D G A
I go and Lord knows it kills me to leave her behind,
G
She drew a low card when she gave me her heart,
G D
And sometimes it's hard to believe,
Bm A
That sweet little angel went and got herself tangled
G A D D (1 upward strum)
In the arms of a cowboy like me
C G D
Well I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights,
C G D
Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale life,
Em D
And every time I head home I think I'll find her gone,
G
But she's still there and still wants to be,
Bm A D G A
In the arms of a cowboy like me
verse 2
D G A D
She's worn a hole in the carpet between the bed and the phone,
D G A D
She worries about me when I leave ‘til I'm back home,
G
Cause there's down time for killin' there's whiskey and there's women,
G D
That's just right for feelin' a need,
Bm A
Oh but she's in no danger there's no room for a stranger,
G A D
In the arms of a cowboy like me
C G D
I know she deserves more than a drifter that lives for the lights,
C G D
Smokey bars and guitars don't make for no fairy tale life,

In the arms of a cowboy like me
