Song For Ian Tyson chords by Old Man Luedecke

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
