Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:


D MajorD
I'm a traveling man don't tie me down

       G+G
There's just too much living going all around

 E7E7               A7A7
A augmentedA man has got to see what he can see

 D MajorD
I love the road and I love the air

    G+G
And I don't worry, hell, I never care

  E7E7                A7A7
I love my women, sometimes they love me

Verse 2:


     D MajorD
But I was got one day, I still don't know how

  G+G
I didn't even like that town

   E7E7                      A7A7
This fellow said "Stranger why don't you just go on home?"

      D MajorD
And I said "Man that's where I'm headed to

    G+G
And you couldn't stop me if you knew what to do."

    E7E7            A7A7
And I left and I planned to go alone


Verse 3:


    D MajorD
But the road was long and home was far

   G+G
So I stopped off at this little cowboy-looking bar

 E7E7                    A7A7
I walked on through the door and she just smiled

   D MajorD
In a long pony tail and a pretty white dress

     G+G
She said "Hi, bull riders do it best."

    E7E7
I said "Oh my God, what's your name?

      A7A7
My name's Lyle."

Chorus:


      D MajorD        G+G
And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7E7                 A7A7
Take your boots and walk out of my life

D MajorD           G+G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7E7       A7A7   D MajorD
I can't be no cowgirl paradise


Verse 4:


 D MajorD
I looked at her and she looked at me

   G+G
And I looked back and she looked back

  E7E7             A7A7
And we went out together for a walk

  D MajorD
Her eyes were bright just like the stars

    G+G
But she drove a pickup said she hated cars

  E7E7               A7A7
But loved to ride around out after dark


Chorus:


      D MajorD        G+G
And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7E7                 A7A7
Take your boots and walk out of my life

D MajorD           G+G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7E7       A7A7   D MajorD
I can't be no cowgirl paradise


Bridge:


      G+G               D MajorD
I told her redneckness has got to be a disease

  E7E7                  A7A7
You catch it on your fingers and it just crawls right up your sleeves

D MajorD           G+G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7E7       A7A7   D MajorD
I can't be no cowgirl paradise


Verse 5:


   D MajorD
Well how she did it I'll never know

     G+G
But it's been maybe 20 years or so

    E7E7                   A7A7
And she cooks the supper and I try to pay the rent

      D MajorD
But I'm a traveling man don't tie me down

       G+G
There's just too much living go all around

  E7E7                 A7A7
But I can't figure out quite where it went


Chorus:


      D MajorD        G+G
And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7E7                 A7A7
Take your boots and walk out of my life

D MajorD           G+G
Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

E7E7       A7A7   D MajorD
I can't be no cowgirl paradise
