Chords with lyrics

[INTRO]
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF


[VERSE]
  C majorC          G+G
Ol' Tuck was a cowboy I knew years ago,
      A minorAm      G+G      FF
Could put a stretch in a story like a forty foot rope.
C majorC            G+G
Young an' wide-eyed, I believed every word,
   A minorAm         G+G      FF
As he rambled through the canyons an' stampeded herds.
G+G
Swore there were still Comanches in them breaks to the south:
     FF
He'd seen good hands ride in there an' never rode out.

C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF

[PRE]
     C majorC              G+G
He had a horse he called Dollar that twice saved his life.
    A minorAm     G+G         FF
He lost him to Jim Shoulders playing' poker one night.
   C majorC              G+G
When I turned eighteen, I packed up an' left home:
     A minorAm       G+G      FF       G+G
Tuck was pretty old back then an' by now he's long gone.


[CHORUS]
  A minorAm             G+G
But I've heard it said that ol' cowboys don't die:
     FF
They get put out to pasture way up the sky.
   A minorAm           G+G
So if God's got a Heaven for old cowboy 🏷Legends,
      FF
I hope the grass is greener on the other side,
  A minorAm      G+G     C majorC
An' he's got good horses to ride.

C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF


[VERSE]
C majorC                          G+G
Now the folks back home would tell you Tuck was just crazy an' old.
  A minorAm    G+G      FF
But I still believe in Conquistador gold.
     C majorC          G+G
An' those memories look like a mirage in the distance,
    A minorAm      G+G     FF
Starin' out from this prison of urban existence.
  G+G
So I saddle up an' I go back now an' then,
  FF
To remember who I was an' just forget where I am.

[SOLO]
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF


[PRE-CHORUS]
    C majorC                G+G
Now the concrete an' steel, they spread out like a plague.
  A minorAm     G+G      FF
Consumin' the rivers, the mountains, and the plains.
   C majorC            G+G
Then one of these days, it'll all be gone.
  A minorAm       G+G      FF      G+G
But somewhere, that spirit will always live on.


[VERSE}
    A minorAm             G+G
'Cause I've heard it said that ol' cowboys don't die:
     FF
They get put out to pasture way up the sky.
   A minorAm           G+G
So if God's got a Heaven for old cowboy 🏷Legends,
      FF
I hope the grass is greener on the other side,
  A minorAm      G+G     FF  G+G
An' he's got good horses to ride.
   A minorAm      G+G        C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF
Yeah, he's got good horses to ride.
