Capo on first fret
Intro is G/D/G
G G C G
Them old cowboys don’t sing too much no more
D
They’ve been singing to the wind
C G
And their throats are sore
G C G
And every love they rode away from makes them walk the floor
D C G
Them old cowboys don’t sing too much no more. Ooh-ooh-oooh.
G
Like an old wolf in a leg trap
C G
They’ll stand up fierce when you come
D C G
They want to be counted but their time hasn’t come
G C G
Just an old man drowning in a ten gallon hat
D G
Like an old wolf caught in a leg trap
Chorus:
C D G D C
Dry and dusty dry and dusty whiskey makes the guitar rusty
G D
But soothes the voice like honey for a while
C D C D
Raise a glass to the cowboy friend who’s like we’ll never see again
C D G
Whos songs run on like water for all time. Ooh-oo-oooh.
G C G
Way out on the prairie the cowboy wrote his songs
D C G
Long have grown the grasses round the spring where he sat long
Who’s crystal shattered fettered souls
C G D G
Of all who listened long and the cowboy strummed in time along
Chorus
(repeat last line chorus end on C) then G/D/C/G
