George Strait – Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy (Guitar)

C
I own this horse and saddle

    F             C
And that old Cadillac

C
This broken down horse trailer

        D                      G
And the clothes that are on my back

  F                    C
I know that it ain't a hell of a lot

                        G
But it's all that I can show

     F        C                G             C
From 17 years making my living ridin' the rodeo

C
My wife left me five years ago

   F                  C
In one of those rodeo towns

  F                C
I can't say that I blame her much

         D                G
She just wanted to settle down

   F                   C
Oh God how I miss that woman

                      G
It hurt so to see her go

   F                    C
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her

        G                 C
But I'm hooked on this rodeo

               F        C
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy

                          G
I'm a little bit over the hill

          F                      C
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago

      D             C
But I guess I never will

     F                  C                   
So I keep on movin from show to show

F                  C
Hopin to change my luck

   F                       C
My good ol days are just a memory

      G                  C
But I just can't give it up

D
There was a time I used to do alright

    G                          D
And bring home my share of the dough

D
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys

          E              A
I guess I must be gettin slow

   G                     D
If there's one thing you learn from this

                          A
You gotta make it on your own

           G                        D
Cause when your on top you've got a million friends

              A                          D
But when your down buddy you're all alone

               G        D
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy

D                         A
I'm a little bit over the hill

          G                      D             
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago

      E             A           
But I guess I never will

     D                 
So I keep on movin from show to show

G                  D
Hopin to change my luck

     G                      D
My good old days are just a memory                

           A             D
But I just can't give it up

   G                       D
My good ole days are all a memory

           A             D
but I just can't give it up.
