C F G F C
C F G C
Once long ago a cowboy you were
C G/B F/A (ascending bass - G A B)
With fire and courage inside
C F G C
You'd sing a loud yodel on your mustering journey
C G/B F G (asc. Bass - G A B)
With a gun and a swag at your side.
Chorus
C F G
So sit there and smile old man
C F G
And rattle and tell me your day
C F
You've slept in too long
C G
Cause your rum was too strong
F C G
Did you have a good Sunday
F G Am
Or are they all just the same
C G C
Life now only leaves you to blame
For you'd ride and you'd settle under stars full of envy
For they wish they could fall in your swaggy below
But then they stare up and wonder why
They fell underneath the sky
Just like you, a forgotten cowboy.
