(Intro)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
(Verse 1)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
In the corner of a dark barroom
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Singing songs that he learned as a child
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
All about the West back when it was wild
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
He said he came from down Texas way
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
The cowboys were tough the women the same way
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Said he was a star back in '31
Amaj7Amaj7
When Hollywood liked him
Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
For some songs that he had done
(Chorus)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
He's the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
B minorBm Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
(Verse 2)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
He took a break just to chug him down some beer
Amaj7Amaj7
C'mon folks now holler out
Dmaj7Dmaj7
The songs you'd like to hear
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
And if I know one I know a million or two
Amaj7Amaj7
I'm not just up here playing for me
Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
This is all done for you
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Said it was the finest made since the war
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how
(Chorus)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
'Cause I'm the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
B minorBm Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
(Instrumental break)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
(Verse 3)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
And after three hours or maybe more
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
A augmentedA lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
The bartender said he's blind you see
Amaj7Amaj7
Don't tell him the only audience
Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
He had was you and me
(Chorus)
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
B minorBm Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
Amaj7Amaj7
Yippie-I-Ay
