Michael Martin Murphey – Cosmic Cowboy (Guitar)

E
Burial grounds and merry-go-rounds

    A               F#m
Are all the same to me;

B                   A
Horses on posts and kids and ghosts

    G#m        F#m          E
Are spirits we ought to set free

     E
Them city slicker pickers got a lot of

A                          F#m
Slicker licks than you and me

    B                    A
But riding the range and acting strange

   G#m     F#m     E
Is where I want to be    at

E                          A         F#m
I just want to be a Cosmic Cowboy;

B              A        G#m      E
I just want to ride and rope and hoot

E                          A
I just want to be a Cosmic Cowboy;

  B            A       G#m     E
A supernatural country rockin' galoot

E
Lone Star sippin' and skinny dippin'

    A                 F#m
And steel guitars and stars

    B               A                  G#m    F#m    E
Are just as good as Hollywood and them boogie-woogie bars

      E
Gonna buy me a vest and head out West

   A                   F#m
My little Woman and my Self;

          B                          A
When they come to town they're gonna gather round

    G#m          F#m           E
And marvel at my Little Baby's health

E                          A               F#m
I'm just gonna be a Cosmic Cowboy  (what I wanna do}

B              A        G#m      E
I'm just gonna ride and rope and shoot

E                          A         F#m
I just want to be a Cosmic Cowboy;

  B            A       G#m       E
A supernatural country rockin' galoot

    E                                   A                  F#m
Now big raccoons and harvest moons keep rollin' through my mind

B                           A
Home on the range where the antelope play

   G#m  F#m     E
Is very hard to find

      E                                A                 F#m
Don't bury me on the lone prairie; I'd rather play there live

    B                A              G#m     F#m  E
I'm doin' my best to keep my little pony in overdrive

E                        A                   F#m
I just wanna be a Cosmic Cowboy; (Oh, that's what I wanna be)

B            A        G#m      E
I just wanna ride and rope and hoot

E                          A         F#m
I just want to be a Cosmic Cowboy;

  B            A       G#m       E
A supernatural country rockin' galoot

    B             A       G#m   E
And up is not the way I'm gonna shoot
