Once A Cowboy
written by Jeffery Steele, Shane Minor, and Brett Michaels
This is one of my favorite Jeffery Steele tunes. You can find another verson
on his "Outlaw" record, if you're curious.
CAPO I
INTRO: C F C F
[C]He's been known to [G]lose more than he wins
He falls [F]down just to get back up a[C]gain
The way he smiles his face is w[G]eathed and leathered and lined
You can t[F]ell he's learned to laugh t[G]hru a lot of hard times
He [C]gets by without shovin', a [G]drifter and a dreamer
[F]He gets stoned on a roll-your-own, what ya [G]get is what ya see here
CHORUS:
Once a [C]cowboy, always a c[G]owboy
Between the [Am]blue sky and unbroken ground he wears his [F]freedom like a crown
Let the whole world ar[C]ound him change, that don't [G]mean a thing
Once a c[Am]owboy [F] always a c[C]owboy
[F] [C]
She tries to tell him he's runnin' out of time
Oh but that ain't what you'd see if you were lookin' thru his eyes
He's still chasin' sunsets, still tryin' to find
Something better than what he'd left behind
She tries to love him but somehow she understands
That it was over the moment it began
CHORUS
BREAK: C G Am F
[C]He's been known to [G]lose more than he wins
F C (let ring)
He falls down just to get back up again
CHORUS
OUTRO: C G Am F (repeated out)
