Charlie Daniels
Damn Good Cowboy
C G C
He's the loosest dude I've ever been exposed to
C G C
He loves the bottle and a dirty joke
F
He likes to hang out on the street
C
And he'd rather fight than eat
D G
And his nose and the women keep him broke
C G C
He's been in every jail from here to Juarez
C G C
And every funky old backstreeet saloon
F
He's a victim of his fate
C
Born a hundred years too late
D
And sometimes I think
G
A hundred years too soon
CHORUS
F
He's a outlaw, He's a bum
C
He's a rounder and then some
G
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
C F
He ain't ever gonna be no different
G
He's a damn good cowboy
C
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee
C G C
He didn't finish school or go to college
C G C
When he turned 16 he just had to go
F
And while everyone who did
C
Was building homes and having kids
D G
He was out West ridin' in some rodeo
C G C
He got busted up in Cheyenne last September
C G C
And he had to get his hat and pack his trunk
F
And he came on back to town,
C
He just kinda hangs around
D G
He's the local hero and the local drunk
CHORUS
F
He's a outlaw, He's a bum
C
He's a rounder and then some
G
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
C F
He ain't ever gonna be no different
G
He's a damn good cowboy
C
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee
A
D A D
You may think he's a little crazy
D A D
And you may think that where he's at's nowhere
G
And in your righteous sight,
D
You just might be right
E A
But he damn sure did have fun gettin' there
G
He's a outlaw, He's a bum
D
He's a rounder and then some
A
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
D G
And if you don't like him you won't like me either
A
He's a damn good cowboy
D
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee
