(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(A) / /

(Verse 1)
Well, I (D)knew the day I met her
One (G)day I'd have to forget her
But that didn't (Bm)stop me from tryin' to hold her
Like the (A)river holds the rain
She always (D)wanted wide open spaces
And I (G)tried my best to tame her
But I would (Bm)have been better off breakin'
A (A)herd of wild mustangs

(Chorus)
I ain't no (D)cowboy, but I wish I was
We'd have (A/C#)rode off together in the settin' sun
Instead of (Bm)watchin' her ride right out of my (G) life
If (A)I could have (D)roped her heart back in
I could have (A/C#)been what she needed when
She saddled (Bm)up, and she kicked up a (A/C#)cloud (G) of dust
I ain't no (Em)cowboy, but (A)now I wish I (D) was / / / (D) / / /

(Verse 2)
If I could have (D)been more like John Wayne
I could have (G)found a way to make her stay
But she was a (Bm)Lorie Darlin' (A)lookin' for her Gus Mc-(A/C#)Crae
And at the end of the (A/C#)day

(Chorus)
I ain't no (D)cowboy, but I wish I was
We'd have (A/C#)rode off together in the settin' sun
Instead of (Bm)watchin' her ride right out of my (G) life
If I could have (D)roped her heart back in
I could have (A/C#)been what she needed when
She saddled (Bm)up, and she kicked up a (A)cloud (G) of dust
I ain't no (Em)cowboy, but, (A)damn, I wish I was (G)

(Instrumental)
 / / / |(D/F#) / / / |(Em) / / / |(A) /

(Chorus)
Naw, I ain't no (D)cowboy, but I wish I was
We'd have (A/C#)rode off together in the settin' sun
Instead of (Bm)watchin' her (A)ride right out of my (G) life
If I could have (D)roped her heart back in
I could have (A/C#)been what she needed when
She saddled (Bm)up, and she kicked up a (A)cloud of (G) dust
(D/F#) I ain't no (Em)cowboy / / / (A) /
But now I wish I (D) was
