Intro: (C)  (Dm)  (C/E)  (F)  (C/E)  (Gsus)  (G7)  (C)  (F)  (C)

When the (C) boy was no (F) more than a (C) shaver (C/E)
His (G7) old man told many a (C) tale
How his great grandad (F) used to go drovin' (C/E)
Back and (Gsus) forth on the (G7) old Chisholm (C) Trail (C/E) 
Now you (F) might say the boy got infected
By a fantasy of the old (C) west (C/E)
For his (D7) heart and his soul got connected
To a (G7) spirit that won't let him (G) rest

Now (C) he don't wear (C/E) spurs that go (F) jingle (G)
He (C) don't spend his (C/E) nights 'round a (F) fire (G)
And (C) it's diesel (C/E) oil that his (F) (G) horses requ(Gsus)ire (G)
(C) He is a (C/E) latter day (F) cowboy (G)
(C) Dressed as a (C/E) truck drivin' (F) man (G)
(C) Drivin' his (C/E) wheels and his (F) dreams (G) to Chey(C)enne 

(Dm7)  (C/E)  (F)  (C/E)  (G)  (C)  (F)  (C) 

He (C) beds down by the (F) side of the (C) highway (C/E)
At the (G7) sight of the first evenin' (C) star
In the darkness his (F) big pony idles (C/E)
As he (Gsus) quietly (G7) strums his guit(C)ar (C/E)
And he (F) sings out a song of his sweetheart
Even as her sweet memory grows (C) dim (C/E)
And he (D7) sings of the trail he has chosen
But the (G7) actual fact is the trail chose him

Now (C) he don't wear (C/E) spurs that go (F) jingle (G)
He (C) don't spend his (C/E) nights 'round a (F) fire (G)
And (C) it's diesel (C/E) oil that his (F) (G) horses requ(Gsus)ire (G)
(C) He is a (C/E) latter day (F) cowboy (G)
(C) Dressed as a (C/E) truck drivin' (F) man (G)
(C) Drivin' his (C/E) wheels and his (F) dreams (G) to Chey(C)enne
