Rhinestone Cowboy

Intro 
G 



          G 
I've been walkin' these streets so long 
G 
Singin' the same old song 
                                               D 
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway 
      C 
Where hustle's the name of the game 
                                                   G 
And nice guys get washed away like the snow in the rain 



               D 
There's been a load of compromising 
       C            G 
On the road to my horizon 
    C                      A                     D 
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me 



                  G 
Like a rhinestone cowboy 
                                             D 
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo 
                  G 
Like a rhinestone cowboy 
                                                   D 
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know 
                       C    G C G D  G 
And offers comin' over the phone 


 
D       G 
Well, I really don't mind the rain 
G 
And the smile can hide all the pain 
                                                               D 
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way 
      C 
And I dream of the things I'll do 
                                                C 
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe 


 
               D 
There's been a load of compromising 
       C            G 
On the road to my horizon 
    C                      A                     D 
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo 
                  G 
Like a rhinestone cowboy 
                                                   D
