Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo on first fret


Intro is G/D/G

G+G                 G+G               C majorC             G+G
Them old cowboys don t sing too much no more
   D MajorD
They ve been singing to the wind
  C majorC                           G+G
And their throats are sore
   G+G                                            C majorC                        G+G
And every love they rode away from makes them walk the floor
        D MajorD                       C majorC                            G+G
Them old cowboys don t sing too much no more. Ooh-ooh-oooh.

  G+G
Like an old wolf in a leg trap
   C majorC                                      G+G
They ll stand up fierce when you come
   D MajorD                         C majorC                           G+G
They want to be counted but their time hasn t come
   G+G                           C majorC                          G+G
Just an old man drowning in a ten gallon hat
            D MajorD                             G+G
Like an old wolf caught in a leg trap


Chorus:
      C majorC            D MajorD             G+G                D MajorD            C majorC
     Dry and dusty dry and dusty whiskey makes the guitar rusty
      G+G                                       D MajorD
     But soothes the voice like honey for a while
      C majorC                 D MajorD                        C majorC            D MajorD
     Raise a glass to the cowboy friend who s like we ll never see again
      C majorC              D MajorD                  G+G
     Whos songs run on like water for all time.   Ooh-oo-oooh.

   G+G                                      C majorC             G+G
Way out on the prairie the cowboy wrote his songs
   D MajorD                                    C majorC                               G+G
Long have grown the grasses round the spring where he sat long

Who s crystal shattered fettered souls
C majorC               G+G                D MajorD                                G+G
Of all who listened long and the cowboy strummed in time along

        Chorus
(repeat last line chorus end on C majorC) then G/D/C/G
