[Intro] C  Am  F
        C  Am  F  C

Am                    F          
   I can use a better friend than
                   C
 the one I've got, my shadow
Am                        C
   Even when the Sun goes down, he 
will leave me by myself
Am                         F     
   In the mornin' he returns, but
                 C
 he doesn't ever say much
Am                        F      
   I don't wanna ride alone down 
          C
this dark and lonesome road

Am                 F             
'Cause even cowboys can get 
          C          E
lonely from time to time
Am                 F             
'Cause even cowboys do get 
       C
lonesome sometimes
         Am                  F    
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've
               C
 come much too far
                 Am             
Yeah, to let you go now, please, 
              F
don't let me go
                   C
Lord, don't let me go

Am                            F  
   Share the silence with a fire,
                     C
 roll the rest of my tobacco
Am                       F       
   Tellin' stories to myself, but
                 C
 I know them all too well (mm)
Continues after the ad
Am                              F
   When the desert night is cold,
                        C
 I just want someone to hold me 
close
Am                       F       
   I don't wanna die alone, who's
                    C
 gonna love me when I'm gone?

Am                 F             
'Cause even cowboys can get 
          C
lonely from time to time (mm-hmm)
Am          F             
Even cowboys do get lonesome 
       C
sometimes
         Am                  F    
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've
               C
 come much too far
               Am                  
Oh, to let you go now, please, 
         F
don't let me go
                   C
Lord, don't let me go

( Am  F  C )
( Am  F  C )

Am                      F        
   Look into my naked eye, 
              C
reflect out into the horizon
Am                      F        
   Ooh, yet another day goes by 
                        C
and there's not a soul in sight
Am                        F      
   As I ride into the dark, as I 
              C
ride into the sunset
Am                                 
   I guess it's time to say goodbye
F                    C
 to the rider of the night

Am                 F             
'Cause even cowboys can get 
       C
lonely from time to time
Am                 F             
'Cause even cowboys can get 
        C
lonesome sometimes
         Am                  F
Yes, but I, I know one thing
                 C
I know one thing I've come much too 
far
                Am                 
Oh, to let you go now, please, 
          F
don't let me go
                   C
Lord, don't let me go

G                          E     
'Cause even cowboys do get lonely
Am  F

              C
Oh, just like me
G         C
Yes, even me
F             C
Oh, just like me
G       C
  Even me
