(Verse 1)
AmHired me on a greenhorn
Didn't know a Fmaj7rope from a horse
But I wG6anted to be a cowboy
So I tAmook the job of course
The foreman he said "Son you gonna ride
At the Fmaj7end of my herd"
All the wrG6anglers sat around in a circle
And noAmbody said a word
(CHORUS)
'Cause there's a Fmaj7woman in my dreams
That kG6eeps me alive
If I Fmaj7ever see her again
LEord I'll never ride drag on another Amcattle drive

There's a rAmumor goin' round
That we're near a Fmaj7Kansas City town
And when you're rG6idin drag on this cattle drive
It takes 'bout a wAmeek for the word to get around
(CHORUS)
'Cause there's a Fmaj7woman in my dreams
That kG6eeps me alive
If I Fmaj7ever see her again
LEord I'll never ride drag on another cAmattle drive

(Verse 1)

Hired me on a greenhorn

Fmaj7

Didn't know a rope from a horse

But I wanted to be a cowboy

So I took the job of course

The foreman he said "Son you gonna ride

Fmaj7

At the end of my herd"

All the wranglers sat around in a circle

And nobody said a word

(CHORUS)

Fmaj7

'Cause there's a woman in my dreams

That keeps me alive

Fmaj7

If I ever see her again

E Am

Lord I'll never ride drag on another cattle drive

Am Fmaj7 G6 Am Am Fmaj7 G6 Am

Chords for solo:

(Verse 2)

There's a rumor goin' round

Fmaj7

That we're near a Kansas City town

And when you're ridin drag on this cattle drive

It takes 'bout a week for the word to get around

(CHORUS)

Fmaj7

'Cause there's a woman in my dreams

That keeps me alive

Fmaj7

If I ever see her again

E Am

Lord I'll never ride drag on another cattle drive

Am Fmaj7 G6 Am
