Cowboy Rides Away chords by George Strait

Capo: Fret II

INTRODUCTION: G C D G // G C D G

VERSE 1:
  G                     C
I knew the stakes were high right from the start,
 D                  G    D
When she dealt the cards I dealt my heart,
  G                 C
Now I just found a game that I can't play,
 D                G
This is where the cowboy rides away.

CHORUS:
     G                C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun,
 D                  G    D
set - ting all the things I wish I'd done.
   G              C
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday,
 D               G
this is where the cowboy rides away.

G C D G

VERSE 2:
 G                     C
We've been in and out of love and in bet - ween,
D                     G
And now we've played the final showdown scene.
       G                  C
And as the cred - its roll a sad song starts to play,
D                G
This is where the cowboy rides away.

CHORUS 2:
     G                C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun,
 D                  G    D
Set - ting all the things I wish I'd done.
    G                 C
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say,
D                G
This is where the cowboy rides away.
