The Sad Cowboy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was [C]mil[F]es[Dm][C][G]
[C]and miles from nowhere,
do[Dm]ing a [G]desert survey,
[C]when a lonely looking cowboy and his
pony came drift[D]ing [G]my [C]way.
Not [G]what I expected,
so tired and dejected,
He barely raised his [A]head [D]to [Dm]say,[F][G]
[C]I'm forever rid[C#dim]in' horse[Dm]s
[G]On this bloomin' purple [C]sage.
Won't someone tell me
[Ebdim]who my boss [D]is[G]
And where I go to [Dm]get my [G]bloomin' [C]wage
If I'm droopin' [C#dim]in my saddle[Dm]
[G]An [Dm]d old[G] Bones is half -asle[C]ep
It's cause our bed is [Ebdim]full of catt[G]le
And we're both sick and
[Ddim]tired of c[G]ountin' she
[C]I ain't cont[G]rary a[Dm]bout t[G]he prairie
[C]except it's mor[Dm]e than a thousand
[G]miles from here across
[C]an [G]d i[C]f you wonder [G]why [C]in thunder
I ain't [D]singing yippee -ki -yay
Oh yeah, it's because I'm [G]lost
[C]I'm plumb out of bea[C#dim]ns
and [Dm]bacon[G][Dm][G]
Lost my razor and my com[C]b
I wouldn't feel quite [Ebdim]so forsaken[G]
Except I can't get these
[Ddim]cows to le[G]ad me ho[C]me
Just one more ques[G]tion,
[D]and[G] I'll ride alo[C]ng
[G]Water and [Dm]var mint said [G]life is but a song.
[C]
