LATTER DAY COWBOY
Collin Raye
 Prestwood
September 15, 2003

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
