Song For Ian Tyson chords by Old Man Luedecke

Capo on first fret

Intro is G/D/G

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

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

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

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

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

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