[Intro] C  F 

[Verso 1]

  C                                
Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun
  C                        D7     G
Coming over yonder when tomorrow comes
 C                                      F   
Let me tell you buddy, and it won't be long
  C                                  G           C
Till you find yourself singing your last cowboy song

[Refrão]

       G                     F        C
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, when the round up ends
       G                   F         G
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, and the camp fire sims
       C                C7             F
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, he shouts when he sings
       C                  G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings

[Verso 2]

( F )

          C                               
When they wrap my body in the thin thin sheet
                                       D7          G7
And they take my six irons, pull the boots from my feet
   C                                    F       
Unsaddle my pony, she'll be itching to roam
         C                         G              C
I'll be half way to heaven under horse powered my own

[Refrão]

       G                     F        C
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, when the round up ends
       G                   F         G
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, and the camp fire sims
       C                C7             F
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, he shouts when he sings
       C                  G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings

[Ponte]

       G               F     C
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, and glory bound
        G                 F           G
No more jingle jangle, I lay my guns down

[Refrão]

       C              C7            F 
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, He shouts and he sings
       C                  G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
