Cowboy Rides Away

George Strait

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

G C

I knew the stakes were high right from the start

D D7 G

When she dealt the cards I bet my heart

C

Now I just found a game that I can't play

D D7 G

And this is where the cowboy rides away

C

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun

D D7 G

Setting on the things I wish I'd done

C

It's time to say goodbye to yesterday

D D7 G

And this is where the cowboy rides away

G C

We've been in and out of love and in between

D D7 G

And now we play the final showdown scene

C

As the credits roll a sad song starts to play

D D7 G

And this is where the cowboy rides away

C

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun

D D7 G

Setting on the things I wish I'd done

C

Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say

D D7 G

And this is where the cowboy rides away

C

Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say

D D7 G

This is where the cowboy rides away
