Verse 1:

                  Em     F                        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
On the set, the makeup girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin

                                       Em                    F                              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
Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend

             Em                 F              G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

Verse 2:

                           Em    F                              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
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

                              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

                          Em  F                        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

                    Em        F                          G
Once I was shot by John Wayne, yeah, it was towards the end

                               Em                     F                         G
That one scene's bought me a thousand drinks, set me up and 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

Bridge:

                       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
'Cause tonight the western stars are shining bright again

I woke up this morning just glad my boots were on
