You could sGay I’ve reached that tFime I know my trC/Gade
And that I kGnow how to care for Fmy guitar and I kC/Gnow how to get up late 
ComAmfortable when I slEmeep on the floor
I’ve played a faFir few shows and I’m gC/Gonna play more 
And all aGlong the while I was just trFying to make you sC/Gmile 
I play C/GcowbGoy cFhords
These aC/Gir coGnditioned wFords
About C/Glonging for the Gprairie and Fliving in the sC/Guburbs 
I sing C/GsimpGle sFongs 
About rC/Gights aGnd wFrongs
About C/Gfinding that tGrail that lFeads away from C/Geveryone
(intro again)
And dGarling I know I dFid not give you mC/Guch
I get hGungry for a woFndering and then I C/Gdidn't come back for months
And I kAmeep your picture Emby my side
It’s iFn my wallet, it’s Con my mind 
EvGery song I know, contains a wFhisper of your C/Gsoul 
I play C/GcowbGoy cFhords
These aC/Gir coGnditioned wFords
About C/Glonging for the Gprairie and Fliving in the sC/Guburbs 
I sing C/GsimpGle sFongs 
About rC/Gights aGnd wFrongs
About C/Gfinding that tGrail that lFeads away from C/Geveryone
(intro again)
And so my dC/Gays slip Gaway all the sFame
Rolling wC/Gheels, hotels roGoms and going Fgrey
Casting gC/Glances over my shoGulder as I Fgo 
Tying nC/Got and dwell on thGings I do not knFow 
I know my trGade out on these bFoards with cowboy cC/Ghords
I know my tGrade out on these boFards with cowboy cC/Ghords
I know my tGrade out on these boFards with cowboy C/Gchords
I know my tGrade out on these boFards with cowboy choC/Grds
