The Charlie Daniels Band – Damn Good Cowboy (Guitar)

C                     G                C
He's the loosest dude I've ever been exposed to

C                   G            C
He loves the bottle and a dirty joke

             F
He likes to hang out on the street

         C
And he'd rather fight than eat

         D                          G
And his nose and the women keep him broke

C                    G                C
He's been in every jail from here to Juarez

C                G               C
And every funky old backstreeet saloon

F
He's a victim of his fate

        C
Born a hundred years too late

     D
And sometimes I think

                      G
A hundred years too soon

        F
He's a outlaw, He's a bum

         C
He's a rounder and then some

                                     G
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be

C                          F
He ain't ever gonna be no different

        G
He's a damn good cowboy

                               C
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

C                 G               C
He didn't finish school or go to college

                  G              C
When he turned 16 he just had to go

           F
And while everyone who did

             C
Was building homes and having kids

        D                      G
He was out West ridin' in some rodeo

        C           G              C
He got busted up in Cheyenne last September

       C              G                 C
And he had to get his hat and pack his trunk

        F
And he came on back to town,

    C
He just kinda hangs around

          D                       G
He's the local hero and the local drunk

F
He's a outlaw, He's a bum

         C
He's a rounder and then some

                                     G
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be

C                          F
He ain't ever gonna be no different

        G
He's a damn good cowboy

                               C           A
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

D              A             D
You may think he's a little crazy

D                      A              D
And you may think that where he's at's nowhere

     G
And in your righteous sight,

D
You just might be right

     E                                 A
But he damn sure did have fun gettin' there

G
He's a outlaw, He's a bum

         D
He's a rounder and then some

                                     A
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be

        D                                   G
And if you don't like him you won't like me either

       A
He's a damn good cowboy

                                  D       D
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee
