Verse 

  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 
For 17 years making my living ridin' the rodeo 

 C 
My wife left me five years ago 
 F                   C 
In one of those rodeo towns 

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 


    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 
    C                    
So I keep on movin from show to show 
 F              C 
Hopin to change my luck 
  G                   C 
My good ol days are just a memory 
 G                    C 
But I just can't give it up

Verse 

   D 
There was a time I used to do alright 
      G                  D 
And bring home my share of the dough 

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 


  G                   D 
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy 
                     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                
My good old days are just a memory 
  A                  
But I just can't give it up 
 G 
My good ole days are all a memory 
   D                    A 
but I just cain't give it up.
