Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D/F# G  x4


Verse 1:
 D/F#         G        D/F#    G
When I was six, I had two fourty-fives
 D/F#             G           D/F#   G
Strapped to my hips, wanted dead or alive
     D/F#         G            D/F#
And all of the kids thought that I was a
G            G/B
good guy at heart

Verse 2:
      D/F#             G        D/F#
When I got to high school, not much really
G
changed

  D/F#            G         D/F#     G
I ran from the cops, in my souped Mustang
     D/F#       G                 D/F#
And all of the girls thought that I was a
G           G/B
good guy at heart


Chorus:
      G           D/F#
And I ride like a thief on the run
      G              D/F#
And I hide from the things that I've done
       G            D/F#
And I fly like the wind to the sunset
  G                        D/F#
Just like a cowboy should do
  G                       D/F#
Just like a cowboy should do


Instrumental:
D/F# G  x4


Verse 3:
D/F#            G        D/F#           G
Girl I will love you the best that I can
   D/F#        G           D/F#          G
But you need to know that I ain't what I am
     D/F#     G        D/F#        G
I'm not  a bad guy but I'm not a good guy at
G/B
heart


Chorus:
G                   D/F#
And I ride like a thief on the run
 G                  D/F#
Say goodbye to the things that I've done
 G                  D/F#
And I fly like the wind to the sunset
 G                  D/F#
Just like a cowboy should do
 G                  D/F#
Just like a cowboy should do


Verse 4:
 A                              G
Wish I could tell you that I'll always stay
 A                        G
But I can't help it, God made me this way
     A                          G
And I know that there'll come a day


Chorus:
        G           D/F#
When I ride like a thief on the run
     G              D/F#
Say goodbye to the things that I've done
      G            D/F#
And I fly like the wind to the sunset
 G                        D/F#
Just like a cowboy should do
G                         D/F#
Just like a cowboy should do


Outro:
 G                        D/F#
