Intro:
C  Dm  C/E  F  C/E  Gsus  G7  C  F  C

Verse:
     C     F      C   C/E
When the boy was no more than a shaver
  G7         C
His old man told many a tale
           F         C/E
How his great grandad used to go drovin'
     Gsus     G7      C   C/E
Back and forth on the old Chisholm Trail
    F
Now you might say the boy got infected
            C  C/E
By a fantasy of the old west
    D7
For his heart and his soul got connected
   G7            G
To a spirit that won't let him rest

  C       C/E      F   G
Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle
  C        C/E       F  G
He don't spend his nights 'round a fire
  C      C/E     F G      Gsus G
And it's diesel oil that his horses requ ire
C    C/E    F   G
He is a latter day cowboy
C      C/E      F  G
Dressed as a truck drivin' man
C      C/E      F   G    C
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Chey enne

Dm7 C/E F C/E G C F C

  C        F      C    C/E
He beds down by the side of the highway
    G7             C
At the sight of the first evenin' star
          F       C/E
In the darkness his big pony idles
   Gsus  G7       C C/E
As he quietly strums his guit ar
    F
And he sings out a song of his sweetheart
                C  C/E
Even as her sweet memory grows dim
    D7
And he sings of the trail he has chosen
    G7
But the actual fact is the trail chose him

  C       C/E      F   G
Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle
  C        C/E       F  G
He don't spend his nights 'round a fire
  C      C/E     F G      Gsus G
And it's diesel oil that his horses requ ire
C    C/E    F   G
He is a latter day cowboy
C      C/E      F  G
Dressed as a truck drivin' man
C      C/E      F   G    C
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Chey enne

C       C/E      F   G
He don't wear spurs that go jingle
  C        C/E       F  G
He don't spend his nights 'round a fire
  C      C/E     F G      Gsus G
And it's diesel oil that his horses requ ire
C    C/E    F   G
He is a latter day cowboy
C      C/E      F  G
Dressed as a truck drivin' man
C      C/E      F   G    C
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Chey enne
C      C/E      F   G    C
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Chey enne
