G5/F  G5/D  G5/C   G5/F

Verse 1:
G5/F            G5/D
We rode all night across an endless desert
G5/C            G5/F
We had no moon to light our way
                G5/D
And though a million stars were slowly turning
G5/C             G5/F
We lacked the consciences to pray
             G5/D
Our horses running like a devil chase us
G5/C                G5/F
Their feet, they hardly touched the ground
             G5/D
Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolf howling
        G5/C          G5/F
But I'm certain   I never heard that sound

Pre-Chorus:
G5/F     Eb MajorEb
Devil to pay   on judgement day
           C5C5
Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?

Chorus:
C5C5            B5B5
This cowboy song is all I  know
      C5C5           D5D5
To bring me  back into your arms
      G5G5       B5B5
Your distant sun, your shining light
      C5C5     D5D5
You'll be my  dog-star shinin' tonight

Guitar Solo:
G5/F   G5/D  G5/C  G5/F
G5/F   G5/D  G5/C  G5/F

Verse 2:
G5/F            G5/D
I've been the lowest of the low on the planet
G5/C           G5/F
I've been a sinner all my days
             G5/D
When I was living with my hand on the trigger
G5/C            G5/F
I had no sense to change my ways
              G5/D
The preacher asked if I'd embraced the resurrection
G5/C            G5/F
To suck the poison from my life
             G5/D
Just like an existential cowboy villain
  G5/C           G5/F
His words were balanced on my knife

Pre-Chorus:
G5/F     Eb MajorEb
Devil to pay   on judgement day
           C5C5
Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?

Chorus:
C5C5            B5B5
This cowboy song is all I  know
      C5C5           D5D5
To bring me  back into your arms
      G5G5       B5B5
Your distant sun, your shining light
      C5C5     D5D5
You'll be my  dog-star shinin' tonight

Chorus:

This cowboy song is all I  know
      C5C5           D5D5
To bring me  back into your arms
      G5G5       B5B5
Your distant sun, your shining light
