Chris LeDoux – They Couldnt Understand My Cowboy Songs (Guitar Fingerpicking)

   C
I left home with a suitcase

    Dm
My songs and my guitar

G                                F            C
Headed down to nashville, gonna try and be a star

      C                                     Dm
The nashville folks, they made me feel like I was right at home

           G                           C
but they couldnt understand my cowboy songs

           C
they said son you've got potential

          Dm
and we'd like to see you stay

            G                                      F                      C
but you've got to change your style cause cowboys songs don't sell these days

    C                               Dm
I tried my hand at cheating heart, and cryin' in my beer

        G                            F         G    C
Then I think about home and wonder, what am I doin here?

          F              G                   C           F
But I'd really like to thank y'all for your hospitality

                   G                     C                F
you know I really mean it, you've been mighty good to me

                G                C                    F
But this old country boy ain't where he's supposed to be

         C              G                               F    C
And this Wyoming cowboy, don't belong in Nashville tennesee

              C                              Dm
Well there's just too many miles and styles between us I suppose

     G                                  F               C
The kind of songs I'm singin' won't fit in down here I know

    C                             Dm
I kind of got the feeling it was time to move along

     G                              C
When Ed Bruce sang The Last Cowboy Song

         C                                  Dm
So I'm going back to the country where the west is still alive

         G                               F                  C
Where cowboys ride the prairie and the mountains touch the sky

      C                         Dm
I'll pack up my old guitar and I'll be on my way

      G                           C
But before I go I'd just like to say

          F              G                   C           F
Well I'd really like to thank y'all for your hospitality

                   G                     C                F
you know I really mean it, you've been mighty good to me

                G                C                    F
But this old country boy ain't where he's supposed to be

         C              G                             C
And this Wyoming cowboy, don't belong in Nashville tennesee

          C              G                                N.C.
Well this Wyoming cowboy, don't belong in Nashville Tennessee
