     C    
I own this horse and saddle
    F                C      
And that ole Cadillac

This broken down horse trailer
       D                            G    
And the clothes that are on my back
 F                               C        
I know that it ain't, a hell of a lot.
                             G    
But it's all that I can show,
   F      C               G               C             
For 17 yrs makin my livin' ridin the rodeo.
  C    
My wife left me 5 yrs ago
  F                       C      
In one of them rodeo towns
                                  G
I c-ain't say that I blame her much,
        D                      G    
She just wanted to settle down.
       F                    C      
Oh God how I miss that woman
                             G                              
And it hurt so to see her go.
       G                   C        
But if I was smart I woulda stuck by her
        G                    C       
But I'm hooked on this rodeo.
              F         C       
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
                               G   
I'm a little bit over the hill.
         F                      C        
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
      D                 G     
But I guess I never will
     C                               F                       C
So I keep on movin from show to show hopin to change my luck.
   G                       C   
My good ole days are all a memory
      G                  C    
But I just can't give it up.

[Verse]
There was a time I used to do alright
    G                          D   
And bring home my share a dough
                                    A
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys
          E                   A       
I guess I must be gettin slow.
   G                     D             
If there's one thing you learn from this,
                             A   
You gotta make it on your own.
          G                      D      
Cause when your on top you got a million friends
              A                        D   
But when your down Buddy your all alone.
               G        D      
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
                              A   
I'm a little bit over the hill
         G                      D      
I should quit this thing a long time ago
      E                  A     
But I guess I never will.
     D                                G                       D        
So I keep on moving from show to show hopin to change my luck.

My good ole days are all a memory
           A                  D     
But I just c-ain't give it up.
  G                        D   
My good ole days are all a memory 
           A                 A   
but I just c-ain't give it up.
