Bronco Bills Lament

[Primera Parte]

  G      D/F#      Em         C 
I coulda been most anything I 
     D       G
put my mind to be
      A7                     C 
But a cowboy's life was the only 
            G   D
life for me
       G            B7       
It's a strong man's occupation 
         C               Am
ridin' herd and livin' free
    Em               A7
But strong men often fail
      Em             A7
Where shrewd men can prevail
       C        C/B        Am     
I'm an old man now with nothin' 
Am7/G         D
left to say
    C  C/B Am  Am/G  D         
But oh god how I     worked my 
        G
youth away

          G  D/F#    Em          
Well you may not recognize my 
     C       D    G
face, I used to be a star
  A7          C                   
A cowboy hero known both near and 
G    D
far
  G              B7               
I perched upon a silver mount and 
C            Am
sang with my guitar
        Em        A7              
But the studio of course, owned my
  Em            A7
 saddle and my horse
         C       C/B    Am   
But that six-gun on the wall 
Am7/G       D
belongs to me
C  C/B Am  Am7/G  D           G
Oh god I   can't  live a memory

             G       D/F#       
You know I'd like to put my 
Em         C       D     G
finger on that trigger once again
    A7                 C    
And point that gun at all the 
            G    D
prideful men
        G               B7        
All the voyeurs and the lawyers 
      C               Am
who can pull a fountain pen
    Em                 A7
And put you where they choose
         Em                 A7
With the language that they use
      C         G/B      Am   
And enslave you till you work 
Am7/G         D
your youth away
C  C/B Am   Am7/G  Am7        
Oh god how  I      worked my 
       D
youth away

        G     Em         G     D
Whoopee ty  yioh whoopee ty yi ay
G         Em       A7            D
One man's work is another man's play
C  C/B Am  Am7/G  D           
Oh god how I      worked my 
      G
youth away

You see I always liked the notion
      C      D        G
 of a cowboy fighting crime
     A7             C         
This photograph was taken in my 
  G      D
prime
         G               B7       
I could beat those desperados but 
        C                 Am
there's no sense fightin' time
        Em            A7
But the singin' was a ball
              Em         A7
Cause I’m not musical at all
   C       C/B     Am      Am7/G 
I moved my lips to someone else's 
 D
voice
