(No Capo)

Intro.:  |(C) / (G/B) / |(F/A) / (G) / |

I was (C)leaning on the bar, with a (G/B)glass half empty
(F/A)Washing down the dust, when she (G)brushed up against me
She was (C)soft, she was pretty, every-(G/B)thing that I'm not
She (F/A)said, "You look lonesome," I said, "(G)Yeah, I get that a lot."

(Chorus)
(F) And she knew I was a (C/E)cowboy, (F) I was born headed (C/E)west
(F) She knew I was a (G)cowboy when (C)we met (F)

I had (C)mud on my boots, my (G/B)hat stained with sweat
(F/A)Lines on my face, and (G)miles of regret
My (C)silver belt buckle (G/B)still caught her eye
The (F/A)only thing I got that's (G)still got a shine

(Chorus)
(F) Yeah, she knew I was a (C/E)cowboy, (F) a long shot at (C/E)best
(F) But she knew I was a (G)cowboy when (C)we met

Inst.:  / (G/B) / |(F/A) / (G) / |(C) / (G/B) / |(F/A) / (G) / |

Had her (C)mind made up, (G/B)both hands on the wheel
Her (F/A)bags in the back of that (G)old Oldsmobile
Left her (C)tears on the pocket of my (G/B)pearl buttoned shirt
And I (F/A)wispered I loved her, but I (G)don't think she heard

(Chorus)
(F) But she knew I was a (C/E)cowboy, (F) not what she needed I (C/E)guess
(F) But she knew I was a (G)cowboy when (F)we met (C)

(F) Yeah, she knew I was a (G) cowboy, when (C)she left / (G/B) / |(F/A)(F)(C) -----
