Verse 1:
G              C
 They call him "Smoky"
               Em
Some old movie reference
       F                Am                G
And the type of whiskey in his coke never made no difference
            C
No college degree
                     Em
He wasn't one for academics
   F              Am                  G
So he went off to trade school, became a paramedic
                C
Ended up on the rigs,
                 Em
Tending to their cuts
F                   Am       G
Six months outta the year, away from us

Chorus:
      F             C           G
And I never understood him, til now
    F              C                    G
How he could show all that love, when he aint around

Instrumental:
C Em F Am G

Verse 2:
                    C
Well, they call me "Cowboy"
            Em
Not too sure why
      F                  Am           G
Cause I don't know how to rope, never learned to ride
                C
But here in New England
                  Em
That dont make any difference
        F                 Am              G
Cause, "you got the funny accent, and the boots to go with it.

Chorus:
      F             C           G
And I never understood him, til now
    F              C                    G
How he could show all that love, when he aint around
      F           C                   G
Now I only get to see his face a few days a year,
      F               C            G
But I wouldn't be the man I am without his care
