The Dead South - Broken Cowboy
Album: Sugar & Joy (2019)
[Intro]
Am E Am E
Am
...
[Verse 1]
Am
It's been a long dark dirty road
F C
And pocket full of gold
E
And I've been out here now
Am
All on my own
Am
Well it's real quiet here
F C
Just the way I like it here
E
There's no one to bother me
Am
Except...
Am F C
In 1955, born into Wadena's pride
E
I laid my head on that
Am
Milligan creek bed
Am
When I was a young man
F C
I helped build this land
E Am
Oh, I put down these rails as a CPR man
Am
Thought I'd live forever
F C
With my heart in my pocket
E
Oh, my gun by my side
Am
And my feelings in a locket
Am F C
Well, that was a cold year in Seventyseven
E
But I married my wife
Am
We had 2 kids
Am
I gave her a daughter
F C
She gave me a son
E Am
And we rode those damn horses until we had none
Am
Fists still like flyin'
F C
Doing things for dyin'
E Am
Oh I should have put that old gun away
[Chorus]
F G Am
But I, I am me, a broken cowboy
F C E
And I don't feel right no more
F G Am
'Cause I am a broken cowboy
[Solo]
AmFCEAm
(x2)
[Verse 2]
Am
Livin' life in the fast lane
F C
Racing cars and robbing trains
E
I thought I had it all
Am
Then one day I got the call
Am
A father's worst dream
F C E
My son went down and I
Am
The colours deceive me
F C
As I see grey
E
Oh you're cutting me down with those
Am
Cold words you're saying
Am
Then you called me brother
F C E
But this can't be so 'cause you slander my name
Am F E Am
Anywhere the wind will blow
[Chorus]
F G Am
But I, I am me, a broken cowboy
F C E
And I don't feel right no more
F G Am
'Cause I am a broken cowboy
F G Am
Yes I am broken cowboy
[Outro]
Am
It's been a long dark dirty road
F C
But a pocket full of gold
E
And I've been out here now
Am
All on my own
Am
Well it's real quiet here
F C
Just the way I like it here
E
There's no one to bother me
Am
Except that old taunting tree
