Intro:
G Am Em G Am Em
Verse 1:
G Am
Left her in the dark
Em
With a barbed wire kiss
G Am
A tumbleweed heart
Em
Stuck on a fence
G Am
A wild west soul
Em
A ten cent man
G
'Bout as gone as the sun rolls in
Am Em
Thinkin' of what could've been
Chorus:
G Am
He's a bottom of a Lucchese
Cmaj7
Marlboro burn
G
Slow sippin' whiskey till his bones don't hurt
Am
In an old Burns hat
Cmaj7
Just driftin' around like a whole herd of cattle
G Am
Had his darlin's heart roped in but them
Cmaj7
Three words drifted off with the wind
G Am Cmaj7
He wishes he was made for her
G Am Cmaj7
But that vaquero is all saddles and spurs
Verse 2:
G Am
When she held his hand
Em
He lost his grip
G Am
Didn't know what love was till she
Em
Gave him a glimpse
Em
But you
G Am Em
Can't stop a cowboy man from chompin' at the bit
G Am Em
That's just the way it is
Chorus:
G Am
He's a bottom of a Lucchese
Cmaj7
Marlboro burn
G
Slow sippin' whiskey till his bones don't hurt
Am
In an old Burns hat
Cmaj7
Just driftin' around like a whole herd of cattle
G Am
Had his darlin's heart roped in but them
Cmaj7
Three words drifted off with the wind
G Am Cmaj7
He wishes he was made for her
G Am Cmaj7
But that vaquero is all saddles and spurs
[Interlude]
G Am Cmaj7
Bridge:
G Am Cmaj7
He had his darlin's heart roped in but them
G Am Cmaj7
Them three words drifted off in the wind
[Out-Chorus]
G Am
He's a bottom of a Lucchese
Cmaj7
Marlboro burn
G
Slow sippin' whiskey till his bones don't hurt
Am
In an old Burns hat
Cmaj7
Just driftin' around like a whole herd of cattle
G Am
Had his darlin's heart roped in but them
Cmaj7
Three words drifted off with the wind
G Am Cmaj7
He wishes he was made for her
G Am Em
But that vaquero is all saddles and spurs
