[Intro]
| Em | F | Em | F | G | G
[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
[Chorus]
C F G Gsus4 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 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
