Chords

[Verse 1]
    C             G
Rode into town on a dusty trail,

      Am                F
Lookin' for a hat that would never fail,

     C               G
Tried on a bowler, slick and black,

      Am               F
But it didn't fit, no, it didn't have the knack.
[Chorus]
      C                G
Oh, I'm a cowboy searchin' far and wide,

         Am              F
For a hat that feels just right inside,

        C              G
Through every brim and every crown,

         Am             F
Till I find the one that settles down.
[Verse 2]
    C              G
Next came a fedora, sleek and neat,

         Am               F
Tipped it low, but it just felt weak,

       C                   G
Needed something sturdy for the wind and rain,

        Am                  F
Fedora flew off, left me standin' in the plains.
[Chorus]
      C                G
Oh, I'm a cowboy searchin' far and wide,

         Am              F
For a hat that feels just right inside,

        C              G
Through every brim and every crown,

         Am             F
Till I find the one that settles down.
[Bridge]
     Am              F
Stetson too stiff, Panama too light,

     C                G
Trilby too short, it just wasn't right,

     Am                F
Went through them all, one by one,

     C                    G
Never thought I'd find the perfect one.
[Verse 3]
    C                  G
Finally saw an old shop on the edge of town,

     Am                F
Dusty and quiet, no one around,

        C                    G
In the corner lay a hat, worn and brown,

      Am               F
Put it on my head, and it felt like home somehow.
``` [Chorus]
      C                G
Oh, I'm a cowboy, my search is through,

         Am               F
Found a hat that feels just right, it's true,

        C              G
Through every brim and every crown,

         Am              F
Finally found the one that settled down.
[Outro]
        C                  G
Now I ride the range with my hat on tight,

         Am               F
Through the days and the long, cold nights,

        C                     G
That old brown hat sittin' just right,

       Am             F            C
This cowboy's heart has found its light.
