G                                           C
I knew the stakes were high right from the start

D                   D7             G
When she dealt the cards I bet my heart

                                      C
Now I just found a game that I can't play

     D                        D7    G
And this is where the cowboy rides away

                                          C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun

D                        D7       G
Setting on the things I wish I'd done

                                   C
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday

     D                  D7          G
And this is where the cowboy rides away


(Repeat Riff)


G                                      C
We've been in and out of love and in between

     D               D7             G
And now we play the final showdown scene

                                          C
As the credits roll a sad song starts to play

     D                        D7    G
And this is where the cowboy rides away

                                          C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun

D                        D7       G
Setting on the things I wish I'd done

                                           C
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say

     D                  D7          G
And this is where the cowboy rides away

                                           C
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say

D                   D7          G
This is where the cowboy rides away

i like it alot -edwards_60 \| 11/20/2003
AWESOME TAB---KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! -TGcountry \| 1/19/2004
Great job. The only thing I see is that the last note in the intro, just before the G chord is strummed should be the open G string and the three notes before that should be reversed like below. Otherwise this is an awesome tab. Thanks for the work.

I play the intro slightly differently than you have it, and I don't play the D7s, but you did a good job with this song. -tpmadden \| 4/4/2010
Great job on this one. You nailed the lead part too. Easy to pick up when it's right in front of me like that!! -renfield \| 9/28/2012
