Intro: Amaj7 Dmaj7  Amaj7 Dmaj7

Verse 1.
Amaj7              Dmaj7
In the corner of a dark barroom
Amaj7             Dmaj7
Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes
Amaj7                 Dmaj7
Singing songs that he learned as a child
Amaj7             Dmaj7                Amaj7 Dmaj7
All about the West back when it was wild


Amaj7                Dmaj7
He said he came from down Texas way
    Amaj7                  Dmaj7
The cowboys were tough the women the same way
Amaj7             Dmaj7
Said he was a star back in '31
     Amaj7
When Hollywood liked him
         Dmaj7                Amaj7 Dmaj7 
For some songs that he had done


Chorus
Amaj7                Dmaj7   Amaj7  Dmaj7
He's the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7             Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7       Amaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
Amaj7                   Dmaj7
He took a break just to chug him down some beer


Verse 2
Amaj7
C'mon folks now holler out 
    Dmaj7
The songs you'd like to hear
   Amsj7            Dmaj7
And if I know one I know a million or two
Amaj7
I'm not just up here playing for me
       Dmaj7           Amaj7 Dmaj7
This is all done for you

Amaj7                       Dmaj7
And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore
Amaj7                       Dmaj7
Said it was the finest made since the war
Amaj7                        Dmaj7
And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow
Amaj7                  Dmaj7                   Amaj7
As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how


Break: Amaj7 Dmaj7   Amaj7 Dmaj7

Verse 3.
Amaj7                  Dmaj7
And after three hours or maybe more
Amaj7                      Dmaj7
A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door
Amaj7                   Dmaj7
The bartender said he's blind you see
Amaj7
Don't tell him the only audience 
  Dmaj7             Amaj7 
He had was you and me

Chorus
 Amaj7                      Dmaj7   Amaj7
'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7            Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7      Amaj7 Dmaj7 
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
        Amaj7
Yippie-I-Ay
