Joe Purdy – Cowboy Song (Ukulele)

C
Pick me up softly, I don't know the shape that I'm in

F
I dropped through the windows and down through the buildings

         G
And up to the front door again

C
There was a gunfight out in the moonlight

F
So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly

G                           C
I don't know the shape that I'm in

C
And I did my best with my time in the West

F
And I tried not to leave anyone in distress

G                          C
And I have stood tall yeah and I never lied

F
That's a lie

G
But I surely tried

C           F              G
To do everything I could do right

C
Pick me up softly, I don't know how much I've been hurt

F
One bullet missed me, the other one kissed me

G
And left me to die in the dirt

C
They killed every last man and shot down my Suzanne

F
It's over whatever it's worth

G
So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly

C                                         F G
I don't know how much I've been hurt

C
Pick me up softly, I don't know long I have left

F
Oh I am not hurtin', but death is a-certain

                    G
There's a bullet that lays in my chest

C
I'm flooded with memories and people and sweet dreams

F
And words to my favourite songs

G
And sing one for me when I'm gone
