[Intro] | C Am | C Am | C | C | [Ouverture]
    C
The skies are dark and gray

C
For a week now it's been rainin' everyday

C 
And the Kan–sas City kid

C
Is on the couch, still tryin' to rope the stray 
[Verse 1]
          Dm               G7
Well he's Crocket and he's Custer

         Dm                  G7
And he's Hickok's right hand man

     Dm7                G7
He's tryin' to tame the west

              Dm7          G7
But mom don't seem to understand
[Verse 2]
          Dm7             G7
And she's told him to get ready

           Dm7              G7
Cause it's for the time for bed

           Dm7            G7
And how he wishes he were free

             Dm7            G7
Cause he was simply born to be

  C       Am  C  Am
A cow---boy 
[Bridge]
 C      Am           C
Asleep, he rides the range

Am    C               Am              C
 On a saddle that has seen its better days

Am   C     Am          C
 And hear, the coyotes call

Am    C               Am              C
 They sing the sun to rest as evening falls
[Verse 3]
     Dm            G
Well make a pot of coffee boys

   Dm7                  G7
So strong you taste the grain

Dm                  G
Stretch out on your blanket

      Dm7                  G7
As he clears his throat to sing
[Verse 4]
Dm             G
Keep you eyes upon him 

         Dm7         G
With his Gary Cooper grin

   Dm7               G7
It doesn't take much sense to see 

     Dm7           G7
That he was simply born to be

  C    Am   C    Am  C
A co---ow---boy
[Verse 5]
Am                              Em
This concrete city's fenced him in

F                              C
Can't win 'm all, but he'll be on his feet again

Am                            Em
He'll ride his fantasies till then

         F                     Dm             G
Don't he take after me, he was simply born to be

  C   Am C  Am  C    Am  C  
A co--o--o--ow--boy 
[Coda]
Am   C      Am           C
 The skies, are dark and gray

Am     C                   Am           C
 For a week now, it's been rainin' everyday 

Am       C   Am       C
 From a  Kan–sas City kid

Am  C                 Am              C
 Is all tucked in and dreamin' of the range
[Outro]
Am C   Am C  Am  C    Am  C
 A co--o--o--ow--boy   

Am C   Am  C    Am  C  Am  C
 A co--ow--boy
