[Intro] | G | G | [Verse 1]
    G        C       G
The cowboy's lady is crying tonight

G            C                    D
 Because the cowboy is out on the range

G           C            G
Running and rambling and chasing some stray

G    A7                      D
 And good cowboys don't ever change

D                          G
I tried to hold him in the home corral

G        D                       G
But the grasses were greener outside

   D                        G
So I'm going to sit here in front of this door

    C                    G
And I've loaded up my cowboy's forty-four

          C                             G            C
When the smoke clears there'll be a new brand on his eyes

G          D             G      G7
This is my cowboy's last ride
[Chorus]
C          G                 G
Oh-oh-oh I hate to see him go

    C                       D
But I won't be staying home crying

C       G                 C
I-I-I I hate to watch him die

    G          D             G      G
But this is my cowboy's last ride
[Verse 2]
G        C           G
Cowboy remembers the old trails we rode

G         C                    D
 And he's back in the saddle tonight

G             C           G
This time I'm letting the home fires burn out

G        A7                          D
 And I'm leaving when I blow out his light

        D                     G
Because I still remember good watering holes

G        D                        G
 And the places that are open and wide

    D                 G
And I have decided he won't put me down

  C                        G
A filly should be free for horsing around

    C                   G           C
And I will no longer be hobbled and tied

G          D             G      G7
This is my cowboy's last ride
[Chorus]
C          G                 G
Oh-oh-oh I hate to see him go

    C                       D
But I won't be staying home crying

C       G                 C
I-I-I I hate to watch him die

    G          D             G      C
But this is my cowboy's last ride

G          D             G
This is my cowboy's last ride
