[Intro]

  Em    G  
  Am    Asus2   
 
 
[Verse]

Em                                      
Everybody wanna know where 
             G           Am    Asus2
did all the cowboys go?
 Em                                           
Musta been the whiskey, 
                      G         Am    Asus2
maybe it was all the Marlboros
       Em                      
But it ain't none of that, 
    G
we laid 'em low
Am
 Yeah, 

believe me I know
 
 
[Chorus]

             Em        G
It was that midnight stare
            Am                        
Look in her eyes like a 
              Asus2
knife to the heart
                 Em     G
And it was that poison kiss
            Am                      
Cherry red lips, oh my God, 
        Asus2
leaning up against the bar
        Em                   
And I know it wasn't a smoke,
G
 it wasn't a drink
Am                  Asus2
 And I've got the proof
               Em       
If you wanna know 
      G          Am
what killed the cowboy
   N.C.
A girl like you
 
 
[Verse]

Em                                      
 The way she does her run 
              G      Am    Asus2
just another rodeo
 Em                                    
Lipstick kiss on the mirror, 
          G             Am    Asus2
that was how she wrote
           Em                
Yeah it's supposed 
          G
to be me riding away
         Am
But I'm tied in 

a bed she made
 
 
[Chorus]

             Em        G
It was that midnight stare
            Am                        
Look in her eyes like a 
              Asus2
knife to the heart
                 Em     G
And it was that poison kiss
            Am                      
Cherry red lips, oh my God, 
        Asus2
leaning up against the bar
        Em                   
And I know it wasn't a smoke,
G
 it wasn't a drink
Am                  Asus2
 And I've got the proof
               Em       
If you wanna know 
      G          Am
what killed the cowboy
Am
Ooh (a girl like you)
 
 
[Instrumental]

  Em    G    
  Am    Asus2   
 
 
[Bridge]

           Cmaj7
Well she's off in the sunset, 

she's out on a run
           D6
Bet she's halfway to Jackson by now
         Cmaj7
And I'm heartbroke to hell 

and I'm drowned in the well
           D6
While I'm telling a bartender how
 
 
[Chorus]

             Em        G
It was that midnight stare
            Am                        
Look in her eyes like a 
              Asus2
knife to the heart
                 Em     G
And it was that poison kiss
            Am                      
Cherry red lips, oh my God, 
        Asus2
leaning up against the bar
        Em                   
And I know it wasn't a smoke,
G
 it wasn't a drink
Am                  Asus2
 And I've got the proof
               Em       
If you wanna know 
      G          Am
what killed the cowboy
             Em     G
A girl like you
             Am
A girl like you
              N.C.
A girl like you
