[Intro]
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
[Verse 1]
G5/F G5/D We rode all night across an endless desert G5/C G5/F We had no moon to light our way G5/D And though a million stars were slowly turning G5/C G5/F We lacked the consciences to pray G5/D Our horses running like a devil chase us G5/C G5/F Their feet, they hardly touched the ground G5/D Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolf howling G5/C G5/F But I'm certain I never heard that sound
[Pre-Chorus]
G5/F Eb Devil to pay on judgement day C5 Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?
[Chorus]
C5 B5 This cowboy song is all I know C5 D5 To bring me back into your arms G5 B5 Your distant sun, your shining light C5 D5 You'll be my dog-star shinin' tonight
[Guitar Solo]
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
[Verse 2]
G5/F G5/D I've been the lowest of the low on the planet G5/C G5/F I've been a sinner all my days G5/D When I was living with my hand on the trigger G5/C G5/F I had no sense to change my ways G5/D The preacher asked if I'd embraced the resurrection G5/C G5/F To suck the poison from my life G5/D Just like an existential cowboy villain G5/C G5/F His words were balanced on my knife
[Pre-Chorus]
G5/F Eb Devil to pay on judgement day C5 Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?
[Chorus]
C5 B5 This cowboy song is all I know C5 D5 To bring me back into your arms G5 B5 Your distant sun, your shining light C5 D5 You'll be my dog-star shinin' tonight
[Bridge]
Eb In the night, in the night Cm7 C5 Dsus4 All my distances are far
[Chorus]
C5 B5 This cowboy song is all I know C5 D5 To bring me back into your arms G5 B5 Your distant sun, your shining light C5 D5 You'll be my dog-star shinin' tonight
