G                            D             G
The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time

G                                Em             G
He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine

G                                C           G
With a head full of music and an old nursery rhyme

G                           D           G
A heart full of sadness and dark sunken eyes

G                              D            G
He told me they've cheated, he told me they stole

G                                   Em             G
The strength from his youth and the songs from his soul

G                            C          G
They said he was family till he got too old

G
And he called them miners, mother lode finders

                   D              G
Digging so deep in search of more gold

     D                            G
Oh, where are the cowboys and the home on the range

    D                         G
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James

C                            G             C      Em C
Now the good guys on TV seem bad, ain't it strange

        G                            D          G
And the old Nashville cowboys missed out on the change
[Instrumental] G D G G Em G G C G G D G
G                            D             G
The old cowboy's life now is gone with the past

G                             Em           G
Like whiskey he drank it all, went out too fast

G                          C            G
He didn't know how to make each swallow last

G                                    D           G
And a head waitress won't be back to fill up his glass

     D                            G
Oh, where are the cowboys and the home on the range

    D                         G
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James

C                         G        C    Em C
Is anyone listening or is everyone blind

G                              D          G
And old Nashville cowboys will sing for a dime

G                               D           G
And hard times are cheap at the end of the line
