🎸 Intro:

| G+G   | G+G   |



🎸 Verse 1:
  G+G    C majorC    G+G
The cowboy's lady is crying tonight
G+G      C majorC          D MajorD
 Because the cowboy is out on the range
G+G      C majorC      G+G
Running and rambling and chasing some stray
G+G  A7A7           D MajorD
 And good cowboys don't ever change
D MajorD             G+G
I tried to hold him in the home corral
G+G    D MajorD            G+G
But the grasses were greener outside
  D MajorD            G+G
So I'm going to sit here in front of this door
  C majorC          G+G
And I've loaded up my cowboy's forty-four
     C majorC               G+G      C majorC
When the smoke clears there'll be a new brand on his eyes
G+G     D MajorD       G+G   G7G7
This is my cowboy's last ride

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC     G+G         G+G
Oh-oh-oh I hate to see him go
  C majorC            D MajorD
But I won't be staying home crying
C majorC    G+G         C majorC
I-I-I I hate to watch him die
  G+G     D MajorD       G+G   G+G
But this is my cowboy's last ride


🎸 Verse 2:
G+G    C majorC      G+G
Cowboy remembers the old trails we rode
G+G     C majorC          D MajorD
 And he's back in the saddle tonight
G+G       C majorC      G+G
This time I'm letting the home fires burn out
G+G    A7A7             D MajorD
 And I'm leaving when I blow out his light
    D MajorD           G+G
Because I still remember good watering holes
G+G    D MajorD            G+G
 And the places that are open and wide
  D MajorD         G+G
And I have decided he won't put me down
 C majorC            G+G
A augmentedA filly should be free for horsing around
  C majorC          G+G      C majorC
And I will no longer be hobbled and tied
G+G     D MajorD       G+G   G7G7
This is my cowboy's last ride


🎸 Chorus:
C majorC     G+G         G+G
Oh-oh-oh I hate to see him go
  C majorC            D MajorD
But I won't be staying home crying
C majorC    G+G         C majorC
I-I-I I hate to watch him die
  G+G     D MajorD       G+G   C majorC
But this is my cowboy's last ride
G+G     D MajorD       G+G
This is my cowboy's last ride
