Capo III
Intro: C, F, C, G, C, F, C, G
Verse 1:
[C]Saw his breath in the December night
[F]His coat was ripped and his bags were few
[C]He asked me if he could bum a light and a [G]cigarette or two
[C]"Thank you sir, I'm much obliged. [F]This'll help a long bus ride.
[C]And if you care to listen twice, [G]let me give you some free advice.
Chorus:
[C]I done wasted [G]half my life [Am]singing cowboy [F]songs
[C]Hoping that my [G]words are right and [Am]that my voice can [F]hold
[C]So find a girl, [G]hold on tight. [Am]Make her love you with [F]all her might
[C]Choose a spot and [G]settle down, [Am]but get the heck outta [F]this old town
[F]Before, [G]you try to [C]stay.
(Repeat 1/2 Intro)
Verse 2:
[C]Another year is falling down, [F]people dancing all around
[C]See the city and the colored lights.
You'll [G]taste the wine of the sweet summer nights
[C]Here's my ride, I just can't stay.
[F]Gotta get up and on my way
[C]I come from somewhere near Birmingham.
[G]I think I might go back there again and
Chorus:
[C]Try to waste the [G]rest of my life [Am]singing cowboy [F]songs
[C]Hoping that my [G]words are right and [Am]that my voice can [F]hold
[C]So find a girl, [G]hold on tight. [Am]Make her love you with [F]all her might
[C]Choose a spot and [G]settle down, [Am]but get the heck outta [F]this old town
[F]Before, [G]you try to [C]stay.
