Chords with lyrics
(1st verse)
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
In a little Texas town, at a bar by the rodeo grounds
D MajorD A augmentedA
You can see him ridin' in every Saturday night
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Well, there ain't no hitchin' post but his horse has got so old
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
He'd stay in front of that bar if he stayed all night
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He sits on the same ol' stool, watchin' the boys play pool
D MajorD A augmentedA
Holdin' a can of Pearl beer in his calloused hand
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
We don't know how old he is, he never had no wife or kids
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
But they say he never backed down from any man
(chorus)
D MajorD
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
G+G D MajorD
He once had girls that loved to tango
D MajorD G+G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A augmentedA D MajorD
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
(2nd verse)
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He's never owned a suit and there's holes in both his boots
D MajorD A augmentedA
But he don't give a damn unless it rains
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Well, he lives his life that way but he still recalls the days
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
When every cowboy in Texas knew his name
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And holdin' up his faded jeans is a belt we've all seen
D MajorD A augmentedA
It's the only thing he owns that still looks new
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He just wears it Saturday night so that belt buckle still shines bright
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
It says, 'All Around Cowboy 42'
(chorus)
D MajorD
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
G+G D MajorD
He once had girls that loved to tango
D MajorD G+G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A augmentedA D MajorD
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
(3rd verse)
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Now, midnight he's always stoned and most of the crowd's gone home
D MajorD A augmentedA
And he rides his old horse to the rodeo grounds
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Well, he closes his eyes and hears a million rodeo fans cheer
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
But he don't know he's the last cowboy in town
(chorus)
D MajorD
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
G+G D MajorD
He once had girls that loved to tango
D MajorD G+G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A augmentedA D MajorD
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
(chorus)
D MajorD
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
G+G D MajorD
He once had girls that loved to tango
D MajorD G+G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A augmentedA D MajorD
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
