The old Nashville cowboy


G              D       G
The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time
G                Em       G
He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine
G                C      G
With a head full of music and an old nursery rhyme
G              D      G
A heart full of sadness and dark sunken eyes
G               D      G
He told me they've cheated he told me they stole
G                  Em       G
The strenght from his youth and the songs from his soul
G              C     G
They said he was family till he got too old
G

And he called them miners mother Lord finders
          D       G
Digging so deep in search of more gold

  D              G
Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range
  D             G
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James
C              G      C
Now the good guys on TV seem bad ain't it strange
    G              D     G
And the old Nashville cowboys missed out on the change


G              D       G
The old cowboy's life now is gone with the past
G              Em      G
Like whiskey he drank it all went out too fast
G             C      G
He didn't know how to make each swallow last
G                  D      G
And a head waitress won't be back to fill up his glass

  D              G
Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range
  D             G
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James
C             G    C
Is anyone listening or is everyone blind
G               D     G
And old Nashville cowboys will sing for a dime
G                D      G
And hard times are cheap at the end of the line
