Intro: (F) (Bb) (F) (Bb) 

(F) When I was young and (Bb) just a boy
I (F) had myself a (Bb) dream
(F) I'd get a (Bb) horse and (Dm) ride the range
(Bb) With Roy and (C) Gene
(F) We'd save the girl in the (Bb) nick of time
And (F) have the fastest (Bb) guns
(F) Sing a (F/E) song while the (Dm) credits rolled
And (Bb) disappear into the (C) setting sun

  (Bb) I didn't want to play (F) football
  (Bb) Or be a business (F) man
  (Bb) All I ever really (F) wanted to do
  Was (Bb) play in a cowboy (C) band

  So (Bb) give me a guitar
  And some (F) shined up boots
  And I'll (Bb) show you where I (F) stand
  (Bb) Somewhere out on the (F) Navajo (Dm) trail
  (Bb) Playin' in a (C) cowboy (F) band

(Bb) (F) (Bb)

(F) When I was nine I (Bb) stood in line
To see (F) Merle and The Strangers (Bb) play
But when the (F) show was (F/E) over
And the (Dm) lights went down
I (Bb) climbed up on that (C) stage
I (F) looked at all the (Bb) vacant seats
And (F) I just had to (Bb) smile
I (F) knew one (Bb) day that (Dm) I would play
And they'd be (Bb) dancin' in the (C) aisles

  So (Bb) give me a guitar
  And some (F) shined up boots
  And I'll (Bb) show you where I (F) stand
  (Bb) Somewhere out on the (F) lone (Dm) praire 
  (Bb) Playin' in a (C) cowboy (F) band

Fiddle Solo

(Dm) Listen to the rhythm of the (Bb) bass and (F) drums
(Dm) It sounds like (Bb) cowboys on the (C) run

  So (Bb) give me a guitar
  And some (F) shined up boots
  And I'll (Bb) show you where I (F) stand
  (Bb) Somewhere out on the (F) lone (Dm) praire 
  (Bb) Playin' in a (C) cowboy (F) band
  (Bb) Yea, I just might be in your (F) hometown to(Dm)night
  (Bb) I'll be playin' in a (C) cowboy (F) band
