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
[Chorus]

Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend

Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

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

                         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

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

'Cause tonight the western stars are shining bright again

I woke up this morning just glad my boots were on
