Lonely Cowboy

[Intro] C  Am  F
        C  Am  F  C

Am                    F                             C
   I can use a better friend than the one I've got, my shadow
Am                        C
   Even when the Sun goes down, he will leave me by myself
Am                         F                      C
   In the mornin' he returns, but he doesn't ever say much
Am                        F                C
   I don't wanna ride alone down this dark and lonesome road

Am                 F                       C          E
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely from time to time
Am                 F                    C
'Cause even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
         Am                  F                   C
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've come much too far
                 Am                           F
Yeah, to let you go now, please, don't let me go
                   C
Lord, don't let me go

Am                            F                       C
   Share the silence with a fire, roll the rest of my tobacco
Am                       F                        C
   Tellin' stories to myself, but I know them all too well (mm)
Am                              F                        C
   When the desert night is cold, I just want someone to hold me close
Am                       F                           C
   I don't wanna die alone, who's gonna love me when I'm gone?

Am                 F                       C
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely from time to time (mm-hmm)
Am          F                    C
Even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
         Am                  F                   C
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've come much too far
               Am                           F
Oh, to let you go now, please, don't let me go
                   C
Lord, don't let me go

( Am  F  C )
( Am  F  C )

Am                      F                      C
   Look into my naked eye, reflect out into the horizon
Am                      F                                C
   Ooh, yet another day goes by and there's not a soul in sight
Am                        F                    C
   As I ride into the dark, as I ride into the sunset
Am                                 F                    C
   I guess it's time to say goodbye to the rider of the night

Am                 F                    C
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely from time to time
Am                 F                     C
'Cause even cowboys can get lonesome sometimes
         Am                  F
Yes, but I, I know one thing
                 C
I know one thing I've come much too far
                Am                           F
Oh, to let you go now, please, don't let me go
                   C
Lord, don't let me go

G                          E     Am  F
'Cause even cowboys do get lonely
              C
Oh, just like me
G         C
Yes, even me
F             C
Oh, just like me
G       C
  Even me
