G/B  Am   G    C   G


Verse 1:

          G          C/G      
When the boy was no more than a 
   G   G/B
shaver
     D            D7     G   G/B
His old man told many a tale
          G             C         
How his great granddad used to go 
  G    G/B
drovin’
           D                D7    
Back and forth on the old Chisholm
   G
 Trail
          C
Now you might say the boy got 
infected
                         G
By a fantasy of the old west
         A7
For his heart and his soul got 
connected
       D                        D7
To a spirit that won’t let him rest


Chorus:

    G              G/B        
Now he don’t wear spurs that go 
   C    D
jingle
Continues after the ad
    G               G/B           
He don’t spend his nights ‘round a
  C   D
 fire
     G          G/B         C     
And it’s diesel oil that his 
 D       Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D
horses require
G        G/B        C    D
He is a latter day cowboy
G             G/B           C  D
Dressed as a truck drivin’ man
G            G/B            C    
Drivin’ his wheels and his dreams
D       G
 to Cheyenne

Verse 2:

         G           C        
He beds down by the side of the 
   G     G/B
highway
         D           D7         
At the sight of the first evenin’ 
   G   C
star
         G           C        G   
In the darkness his big pony idles
G/B

        D      D7         G
As he quietly strums his guitar
        C
And he sings out a song of his 
sweetheart
                                G
Even as her sweet mem’ry grows dim
        A7
And he sings of the trail he has 
chosen
         D                  D7
But the actual fact is the trail 
chose him


[Repeat Chorus]
