🎸 Verse 1:
    G        C       G
The cowboy's lady is crying tonight
G            C                    D
 Because the cowboy is out on the range
G           C            G
Running and rambling and chasing some stray
G    A7                      D
 And good cowboys don't ever change
D                          G
I tried to hold him in the home corral
G        D                       G
But the grasses were greener outside
   D                        G
So I'm going to sit here in front of this door
    C                    G
And I've loaded up my cowboy's forty-four
          C                             G            C
When the smoke clears there'll be a new brand on his eyes
G          D             G      G7
This is my cowboy's last ride

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


🎸 Verse 2:
G        C           G
Cowboy remembers the old trails we rode
G         C                    D
 And he's back in the saddle tonight
G             C           G
This time I'm letting the home fires burn out
G        A7                          D
 And I'm leaving when I blow out his light
        D                     G
Because I still remember good watering holes
G        D                        G
 And the places that are open and wide
    D                 G
And I have decided he won't put me down
  C                        G
A filly should be free for horsing around
    C                   G           C
And I will no longer be hobbled and tied
G          D             G      G7
This is my cowboy's last ride


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