[Intro] C  Am  C  Am
        C  Am  C

    C             F
I'm lonesome but happy
 F             C
Rich but I'm broke
     F                       C
And the good Lord knows the reason
 F            C    G
I'm just a cowpoke

 C                F
From Cheyenne to Douglas
 F                C
All the ranges I know
     F             C
'Cause I drift with the wind
 Am
No one cares where I go

( C  Am  C  Am )
( C  Am  C ) 

 C           F
I ain't got a dime
 F                   C
In these old worn out jeans
        F        C
So I'll stop eatin' steak
 F             C
And go back to beans

 C            F
I'll pick up a ten spot
 F          C
In Prescot I know
 F         C
Ridin' the broncs
 F         C
In the big rodeo

( C  Am  C  Am )
( C  Am  C ) 

 C          F
Some evening springtime
 F          C
A filly I'll find
       F             C
And I might spend all the summer
     F       C
With her on my mind

C               F
But I'll never be branded
F          C
And never be broke
      F            C
I'm a carefree range ridin'
   Am
Driftin' cowpoke

[Outro] C  Am  C  Am
        C  Am  C
