Let me tell you buddy, there’s a faster gun,

When they wrap my body in the binden(?) sheet,

and they take my six-irons, pull the boots from my feet,
 C                    F
Unsaddle my pony, she’ll be itching to roll,
    C              G       C
I’ll be halfway to heaven, under horsepower of my own.

Yippee ki-yi-yay, (I’m glory bound).

No more jingle jangle (I’ll lay my guns down)
    C              F
Yippee ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings,
    C         G     C
When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings.
