Gillian Welch – When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings (Guitar)

       C
Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun

                         Dadd4add9  G
coming over yonder, when tomorrow comes

       C                                F
Let me tell you buddy, and it won't be long

         C                            G          C
'til you find yourself singing your last cowboy song

        G                   F        C
Yippie ki yi yay, when the round up ends

        G                   F       G
Yippie ki yi yay, and the campfire dims

        C                          F
Yippie ki yi yay, he shouts and he sings,

        C                G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings

          C
When they wrap my body in the bindling sheet

                                        Dadd4add9     G7
and they take my six irons and pull the boots from my feet

    C                                   F
Unsaddle my pony, she'll be itchin' to roam

        C                         G               C
I'll be halfway to heaven, under horsepower of my own

        G                   F        C
Yippie ki yi yay, when the round up ends

        G                   F       G   G7
Yippie ki yi yay, and the campfire dims

        C                          F
Yippie ki yi yay, he shouts and he sings

        C                G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings

       G              F     C
Yippie ki yi yay, I'm glory bound

    G                      F           G
No more jingle jangle I'll lay my guns down

       C                           F
Yippie ki yi yay, he shouts and he sings

       C                 G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
