A E F#m E D
I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
A E F#m E D
A starry night, the campfire light
A E F#m E D
The coyote call, and the howling winds wail
A E F#m E D
So I'll ride out, to the old sundown
D Amaj7 Bm7 A (x 2)
A E F#m E D
I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
A E F#m E D
Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
A E F#m E D
The nights we spent together, riding on the range
A E F#m E D
Looking back, it seems so strange
D Amaj7
Roll me over and turn me around
Bm7 A
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
D Amaj7
Roll me over and let me go
Bm7 A
Riding in the rodeo
A E F#m E D
I was took in Texas, I did not know her name
A E F#m E D
Lord all these southern girls they seem the same
A E F#m E D
Down below the border, in a town in Mexico
A E F#m E D
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
[Chorus][Bridge] A E F#m E D (x 2)
D Amaj7 Bm7 A
Rooooll me over, and I'll turn around
D Amaj7 Bm7 A
D Amaj7 Bm7 A
And I'll move my fingers Up and down
D Amaj7 Bm7 A
Up and down
D Amaj7 Bm7 A
It's ok amigo, Just let me go
D Amaj7 Bm7 A
Riding in the rodeo
A E F#m E D (x 4)
[Chorus]
D Amaj7
Roll me over and set me free
Bm7 Amaj7 D E A
The cowboy's life is the life for me
