I'm an Old Cowhand 

 D              E    A       E      D
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
 D                 E    A        E         D
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
        B7                F
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
    B7                      F
I road every trail in the Lone Star State
   B7                  F
I roam the range in a Ford V-8
D      E      A         D      E   D 
Yippee I oh ti-ay! Yippee I oh ti-ay!

D              E    A       E      D
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
D              E    A        E         D
And I come to town just to hear the band
        B7                       F
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
           B7                     F
'Bout the Big Corral where the dogies go
     B7                     F
We learned them all on the radio
D      E      A         D      E   D 
Yippee I oh ti-ay! Yippee I oh ti-ay!

D              E    A       E      D
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
D                  E    A        E       D
Where the West is wild round the borderland
      B7                       F
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
     B7                          F
And the Indians will make you a rug or two
     B7                       F
And the old Bar X is just a barbeque
D      E      A         D      E   D 
Yippee I oh ti-ay! Yippee I oh ti-ay!

D              E    A       E      D
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
D                   E    A        E         D
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tanned
       B7               F
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
       B7                     F
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
   B7                    F
I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
D      E      A         D      E   D 
Yippee I oh ti-ay! Yippee I oh ti-ay!
