[Intro] Dm Am Dm Dm Am C Dm [Verse]
       Dm               C            Dm
All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart

      Dm           C                    Gm               Dm
Every western hero on the screen's been with me from the start

       A7                      Dm
Ridin' high and showin' me the way

            Dm                 C                   Dm
And they've been there with me through my toughest times

     Dm              C                Gm                  Dm
We'd ride out to the boundries but we never crossed those lines

             A7                                Dm
And that's a code that I'm still livin' by the day
[Refrain]
    F                              C                        Dm
The code of the west was black and white, good guys and the bad

          F                                C                       A7
You would always know who's wrong or right   by the color of their hat

          F                                C                              Gm
Now there aren't so many happy trails I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see

             Bb7                          A7                            Dm    Dm
You don't go off into the sunset and they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
[Verse]
         Dm              C               Dm
And it's good to see the bad guys on the run

      Dm             C               Gm               Dm
While our modern day heroes show 'em how the west was won

         A7                                 Dm
On their trail 'til they bring the last one down

         Dm             C              Dm
We could use a few more cowboys here today

  Dm               C               Gm               Dm
A few more days of reckoning and a lot more hell to pay

           A7                                 Dm
Where that debt is owed there ain't no middle ground
[Refrain]
    F                              C                        Dm

You would always know who's wrong or right   by the color of their hat

You don't go off into the sunset and they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
Dm C Dm Dm C Gm Dm A Dm [Refrain]

You don't go off into the sunset and they don't run from sea to shinin' sea

       Dm               C            Dm     Dm   Dm   Dm Am  Dm
All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart
