Intro:
C majorC  G+G C majorC  C majorC  G+G C majorC

Verse 1:
C majorC           G+G        C majorC
He's the loosest dude I've ever been exposed to
C majorC          G+G      C majorC
He loves the bottle and a dirty joke
       FF
He likes to hang out on the street
     C majorC
And he'd rather fight than eat
     D MajorD             G+G
And his nose and the women keep him broke
C majorC          G+G        C majorC
He's been in every jail from here to Juarez
C majorC        G+G        C majorC
And every funky old backstreeet saloon
FF
He's a victim of his fate
    C majorC
Born a hundred years too late
   D MajorD
And sometimes I think
           G+G
A augmentedA hundred years too soon

Chorus:
    FF
He's a outlaw, He's a bum
     C majorC
He's a rounder and then some
                   G+G
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
C majorC             FF
He ain't ever gonna be no different
    G+G
He's a damn good cowboy
                C majorC
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

Verse 2:
C majorC         G+G        C majorC
He didn't finish school or go to college
         G+G       C majorC
When he turned 16 he just had to go
      FF
And while everyone who did
       C majorC
Was building homes and having kids
    D MajorD           G+G
He was out West ridin' in some rodeo

    C majorC      G+G       C majorC
He got busted up in Cheyenne last September
    C majorC       G+G         C majorC
And he had to get his hat and pack his trunk
    FF
And he came on back to town,
  C majorC
He just kinda hangs around
     D MajorD            G+G
He's the local hero and the local drunk

Chorus:
FF
He's a outlaw, He's a bum
     C majorC
He's a rounder and then some
                   G+G
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
C majorC             FF
He ain't ever gonna be no different
    G+G
He's a damn good cowboy
                C majorC      A augmentedA
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

Verse 3:
D MajorD       A augmentedA       D MajorD
You may think he's a little crazy
D MajorD           A augmentedA       D MajorD
And you may think that where he's at's nowhere
   G+G
And in your righteous sight,
D MajorD
You just might be right
   E MajorE                 A augmentedA
But he damn sure did have fun gettin' there

Chorus:
G+G
He's a outlaw, He's a bum
     D MajorD
He's a rounder and then some
                   A augmentedA
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
    D MajorD                  G+G
And if you don't like him you won't like me either
    A augmentedA
He's a damn good cowboy
                 D MajorD    D MajorD
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee
