Verse 1:

         E minorEm   FF            G+G
I wake up in the morning, just glad my boots are on

             E minorEm       FF             G+G
Instead of empty in the whispering grasses down the Five at Forest Lawn

            E minorEm      FF              G+G
On the set, the makeup girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin

                    E minorEm          FF               G+G
Then I give it all up for that little blue pill that promises to bring it all back to you again

       C majorC  FF           G+G
Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend

Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

Here in the canyons above Sunset, the desert don't give up the fight

A augmentedA coyote with someone's Chihuahua in its teeth skitters 'cross my veranda in the night

Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips her Mojito down at the Whiskey Bar

                 E minorEm         FF              G+G
Smiles and says she thinks she remembers me from that commercial with the credit card

               C majorC   FF          G+G
Hell, these days there ain't no more, now there's just again

Some days I take my El Camino, throw my saddle in and go

                E minorEm  FF           G+G
East to the desert where the charros, they still ride and rope

        C majorC         FF                 G+G

That one scene's bought me a thousand drinks, set me up and tell it for you, friend

        C majorC   FF          G+G
Here's to the cowboys, riders in the whirlwind
