INTRO: C G Am G F
Old [C]Tut was a cowboy I [G]knew years ago
Could put a [Am]stretch in a [G]story like a [F]40 foot rope
[C]Young and wide-eyed I bel[G]ieved every word
As he [Am]rambled thru the [G]canyons and [F]stampeded herds
[G]Swore there were still Comanches in them breaks to the south
He'd seen [F]good hands ride in there that never rode out
INTRO
He had a [C]horse he called Dollar that [G]twice saved his life
He lost [Am]him to Jim [G]Shoulders playin' [F]poker one night
When [C]I turned 18 I packed [G]up and left home
Tut was [Am]pretty old back [G]then and by [F]now he's long [G]gone
CHORUS:
But [Dm]I've heard it said that old [Am]cowboys don't die
They get [F]put out to pasture way up in the sky
So if [Dm]God's got a Heaven for [Am]old cowboy legends
I hope the [F]grass is greener on the other side
And [Dm]He's got good [G]horses to [C]ride
INTRO
[C]Now the folks back home would tell ya Tut was just [G]crazy and old
But [Am]I still be[G]lieve in Conq[F]uistador gold
And those [C]memories look like a mir[G]age in the distance
Starin' [Am]out from this [G]prison of [F]urban existence
So [G]I saddle up and go back now and then
To [F]remember who I was and just forget where I am
SOLO
Now the [C]concrete and steel they s[G]pread out like a plague
Con[Am]sumin' the [G]rivers, the [F]mountains and the plains
[C]And one of these days it'll [G]all be gone
But s[Am]omewhere that [G]spirit will [F]always live [G]on
CHORUS:
'Cause [Dm]I've heard it said that old [Am]cowboys don't die
They get [F]put out to pasture way up in the sky
If [Dm]God's got a Heaven for [Am]old cowboy legends
I hope the [F]grass is greener on the other side
And [Dm]He's got good [G]horses to [Am]ride[G]
Yeah [Dm]He's got good [G]horses to [C]ride[G][Am][G][F]
A few good horses to [C]ride[G][Am][G][F]
A few good horses to [C]ride[G][Am][G][F]
