INTRO: C G C
[C]Guitars and whiskey in a honky tonk some[F]where
Cowboy angel said here's [C]one about a girl with flowers in her [G]hair
Wild [C]flowers, asked the Knoxville boy, no the cowboy rep[F]lied
A wild rose like those that [C]grows along the road, a slow [G]burnin' suic[C]ide
CHORUS:
Don't you [F]cry for the cowboy angel, it's too late any[C]how
He's too far gone, still ridin' on your tears can't help him [G]now
Don't [F]waste your love sweet [G]Magdelene, it'll [C]only slow him [F]down
Don't you [C]cry for the cowboy angel ridin' [G]out to that sweet [C]town
[D]From Babylon to Joshua Tree, you could taste it in the [G]air
That grevious wine of sym[D]pathy and a cross no man could [A]bear
Are y[D]ou goin', asked the Knoxville boy, hell yeah the cowboy r[G]eplied
Then he blew his mind like a [D]dandelion and rode [A]off in the [D]night
CHORUS:
Don't you [G]cry for the cowboy angel, it's too late any[D]how
He's too far gone, still ridin' on your tears can't help him [A]now
