Am                    F
Hello cowgirl in the sand
Am                        F
Is this place at your command
 C     G        Fmaj7   G
Can I stay here for awhile
 C     G       Fmaj7         G
Can I see your sweet sweet smile

CHORUS:
Dm7   Em7          C           F
Old enough now to change your name
     Dm7      Em7        C       F
When so many love you is it the same
	 Dm
Its the woman in you that makes you want to
 C   Cmaj7 F   Riff2 then Riff1(a&b only afer 1st verse)
Play this game

 Am                F
Hello ruby in the dust
Am                      F
Has your band begun to rust
 C     G      Fmaj7     G
After all the sin we've had
C      G          Fmaj7      G
I was hoping that we'd turn bad

 Am                 F
Hello woman of my dreams
Am                       F
Is this not the way it seems
 C      G         Fmaj7      G
Purple words on a gray background
C        G           Fmaj7      G
To be a woman and to be turned down
