[Verse]
Db
There are songs about the heroes and the great things they have done
Gb                                          Db
And the hell they went through to get this far
But this song is for the cowboy who never been a hero
        Eb                                      Ab
And the hard times he goes through all the while
Db
He gives it all he's got but it's never quite enough
   Gb                                          Db
Oh the Lord and him alone know how he's tried
But he'll try and try again although he'll never win
                                Ab                Db
And all that he's got goin' is his pride
Gb                                             Db
He's never been a hero and he probably never be one
      Gb                       Eb                      Ab
But in his heart he knows he gave his all
      Gb                                             Db
My hat goes off to you my friend and to the champ you might have been
Gb                    Ab                       Db
If Lady Luck had smiled on you at all
D
The bones are just too tough and he doesn't have enough
G                                          D
Of what it takes to make it to the top
D                               D
What makes him want to go well Lord I guess I know
D                       A                    D
He loves it too damn much to ever stop
D
He bites the dust once more gets up to hear no score
G                                                   D
Then he stumbles to the chutes to ease the pain
D                                               D
And underneath his breath he cusses to himself
D                          A             D
I'll ride him if I get the chance again
G       D
He's never been a hero and he probably never be one
G                  E                A
But in his heart he knows he gave his all
   G    D
My hat goes off to you my friend and to the champ you might have been
    G                 A                         D
If Lady Luck had smiled on you at all
