Western Cowboys Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Well, there's always
[Am]been groups of people
that never could see eye to eye,
but I always thought
if they ever had a chance to sit down
and talk face -to -face,
they might realize they got
a lot in common.
Well, I was sittin' in [Em]a coffee shop,
just havin' [G]a cup to pass the [Am]time,
swappin' rodeo stor[Em]ies
with this old cowboy [G]friend of mine,
[Am]when some motorcycle riders
started snickering in [Dm]the back
and started [Am]pok ing fun
[Em]at my friend's [Am]hat.
One old boy said, [Em]hey Tex,
[G]where'd you park your [Am]horse?
A friend just pulled his [Em]hat down low
but they [G]couldn't be [Am]ignored.
One Husky fella [C]said,
I think I'll rip with that hat
[Dm]right off your head.
That's when my [Am]friend turned around
and [Em]this is what [Am]he said.

[Verse 2]
You'll [Am]ride a black tor[C]nado
[Dm]Across the western sky

[Verse 3]
[Am]Rope an old blue [C]northerner
And [E]milk it till it's dry

[Verse 4]
Bull[Am]dog the Mississipp[C]i

[Verse 5]
[Dm]And it's ears down flat
[Am]Long before you take [Em]this
cowboy's [Am]hat
Now, partner,
this [Em]old hat's better left [G]alone[Am]
See, it used to be [Em]my daddy's
[G]But last year he passed [Am]on
My nephew skinned the rattler
that [C]makes up this [Dm]old hat band
But back [Am]in 69, he died [Em]in V[Am]ietnam
Now the eagle feather
was given to [Em]me
by an Indian friend of [G]mine[Am]
But someone ran him down
somewhere
[Em]around that [G]Arizona [Am]line
And a real special lady
[C]gave me this hat [Dm]pin
[Am]But I don't know if I'll
ever see [Em]her a[Am]gain
You'll ride a black tornado
[C]Tornado across

[Verse 6]
[Dm]the western sky

[Verse 7]
[Am]Roping old blue [C]northern
and [E]milky till it's dry

[Verse 8]
Bull[Am]dog the Mississipp[C]i
an[Dm]d it's ears down flat

[Verse 9]
[Am]Long before you take [Em]this
cowboy's [Am]hat

[Verse 10]
[Am]Now if your leather jacket
means [Em]to you
what this [G]hat means to [Am]me,
then I guess we under[Em]stand each other
and we'll just [G]let it be,
[Am]but if you still think i[C]t's funny,
man, you got [Dm]my back up against the wall,
and if you touch my hat,
[Am]you're going to have to fi[Em]ght us all.[Am]
Right then, I caught a little sadness
[G]in that gang leader's eyes,
[Am]and he turned back to the others,[Em]
and they all just kind [G]of shuffled on outside,
[Am]
but when my friend turned
[C]back towards me.
[Dm]I noticed his old hat brim,
well it was [Am]turned up in a [Em]big
old Texas [Am]green.
You'll ride a black tor[C]nado,
[Dm]across the western sky.
[Am]Rope an old blue [C]northerner,
and [E]he'll get to his drive.
Boat [Am]off the Mississip[C]pi,
[Dm]and it sears down a flat.
[Am]Long before you take [Em]this cowboy's [Am]hat
[C][Dm][Am][C]
[E][Am][C][Dm][Am][Em]
you
