Verse 1:
         Em   F            G  Gsus4 G
I wake up in the morning, just glad my boots are on
            Em        F            G
Instead of empty in the whispering grasses down the Five at Forest Lawn
            Em      F              G  Gsus4 G
On the set, the makeup girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin
                   Em           F               G  Gsus4 G
Then I give it all up for that little blue pill that promises to bring it all back to you again

       C  F          G   Gsus4 G
Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend

Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

Verse 2:
             Em   F               G   Gsus4 G
Here in the canyons above Sunset, the desert don't give up the fight
              Em             F             G
A coyote with someone's Chihuahua in its teeth skitters 'cross my veranda in the night
             Em       F            G  Gsus4 G
Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips her Mojito down at the Whiskey Bar
                 Em         F              G
Smiles and says she thinks she remembers me from that commercial with the credit card

Chorus:
               C    F         G
Hell, these days there ain't no more, now there's just again
      Em        F        G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

Interlude:
| Em | F  | G  | G

Verse 3:
             Em  F            G  Gsus4 G
Some days I take my El Camino, throw my saddle in and go
               Em   F          G
East to the desert where the charros, they still ride and rope
       C         F                G
Our American brothers cross the wire and bring the old ways with them
      Em        F        G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

Instrumental:
| C  | F  | G  | G  | Em | F  | G  | G

Verse 4:
          Em     F             G
Once I was shot by John Wayne, yeah, it was towards the end
               Em           F               G   Gsus4 G
That one scene's bought me a thousand drinks, set me up and I'll tell it for you, friend
       C    F          G
Here's to the cowboys, riders in the whirlwind
      Em        F        G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
    Em        F        G
And the western stars are shining bright again

Chorus:
           C       F            G
Tonight the riders on Sunset are smothered in the Santa Ana winds
    Em        F        G
And the western stars are shining bright again
            C  F          G
C'mon and ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend
          Em        F        G  Gsus2 G
'Cause tonight the western stars are shining bright again
