[Intro]
 C
[Verse 1]
C
I own this horse and saddle
    F             C
And that old Cadillac
C
This broken down horse trailer
        D                      G
And the clothes that are on my back
  F                    C
I know that it ain't a hell of a lot
                        G
But it's all that I can show
     F        C                G             C
From 17 years making my living ridin' the rodeo
C
My wife left me five years ago
   F                  C
In one of those rodeo towns
  F                C
I can't say that I blame her much
         D                G
She just wanted to settle down
   F                   C
Oh God how I miss that woman
                      G
It hurt so to see her go
   F                    C
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
        G                 C
But I'm hooked on this rodeo
[Chorus]
               F        C
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
                          G
I'm a little bit over the hill
          F                      C
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
      D             C
But I guess I never will
     F                  C
So I keep on movin from show to show
F                  C
Hopin to change my luck
   F                       C
My good ol days are just a memory
      G                  C
But I just can't give it up

[Verse 2]
D
There was a time I used to do alright
    G                          D
And bring home my share of the dough
D
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys
          E              A
I guess I must be gettin slow
   G                     D
If there's one thing you learn from this
                          A
You gotta make it on your own
           G                        D
Cause when your on top you've got a million friends
              A                          D
But when your down buddy you're all alone
[Chorus]
               G        D
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
D                         A
I'm a little bit over the hill
          G                      D
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
      E             A
But I guess I never will
     D
So I keep on movin from show to show
G                  D
Hopin to change my luck
     G                      D
My good old days are just a memory                
           A             D
But I just can't give it up
   G                       D
My good ole days are all a memory
           A             D
but I just can't give it up.
