Introduction:
A E A
The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time
A F#m A
He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine
A D A
With a head full of music and an old nursery rhyme
A E A
A heart full of sadness and dark sunken nights
A E A
He told me they've cheated he told me they stole
A F#m A
The strength from his youth and the songs from his soul
A D A
He said he raised family till he got too old
A
And he called them miners mother Lord finders
A E A
Digging so deep in search of more gold
E A
Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range
E A
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James
D A D D/C# Bm
Now the good guys on TV seem bad ain't it strange
A E A
And the old Nashville cowboys missed out on the change
The old cowboy's life now is gone with the past
A E A
And hard times are cheap at the end of the line
