(Intro) Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 (Verse 1)
Gmaj7              Cmaj7
In the corner of a dark barroom

Gmaj7             Cmaj7
Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes

Gmaj7                 Cmaj7
Singing songs that he learned as a child

Gmaj7             Cmaj7                Gmaj7 Cmaj7
All about the West back when it was wild

Gmaj7                Cmaj7
He said he came from down Texas way

    Gmaj7                  Cmaj7
The cowboys were tough the women the same way

Gmaj7             Cmaj7
Said he was a star back in '31

     Gmaj7
When Hollywood liked him

         Cmaj7                Gmaj7 Cmaj7 
For some songs that he had done
(Chorus)
Gmaj7                Cmaj7   Gmaj7  Cmaj7
He's the last of the singing cowboys

Cmaj7             Gmaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Am              Gmaj7 Cmaj7       Gmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
(Verse 2)
Gmaj7                   Cmaj7
He took a break just to chug him down some beer

Gmaj7
C'mon folks now holler out 

    Cmaj7
The songs you'd like to hear

   Gmaj7            Cmaj7
And if I know one I know a million or two

Gmaj7
I'm not just up here playing for me

       Cmaj7           Gmaj7 Cmaj7
This is all done for you

Gmaj7                       Cmaj7
And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore

Gmaj7                       Cmaj7
Said it was the finest made since the war

Gmaj7                        Cmaj7
And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow

Gmaj7                  Cmaj7                   Gmaj7
As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how
(Chorus)
 Gmaj7                     Cmaj7   Gmaj7
'Cause I'm the last of the singing cowboys

Cmaj7            Gmaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Am              Gmaj7 Cmaj7      Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
(Instrumental Break) Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 (Verse 3)
Gmaj7                  Cmaj7
And after three hours or maybe more

Gmaj7                      Cmaj7
A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door

Gmaj7                   Cmaj7
The bartender said he's blind you see

Gmaj7
Don't tell him the only audience 

  Cmaj7             Gmaj7 
He had was you and me
(Chorus)
 Gmaj7                      Cmaj7   Gmaj7
'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys

Cmaj7            Gmaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Am              Gmaj7 Cmaj7      Gmaj7 Cmaj7 
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay

        Gmaj7
Yippie-I-Ay
