[Intro]

  G        G       
 
 
[Verse ]

    G        C       G
The cowboy's lady is crying tonight
G            C        
 Because the cowboy is 
           D
out on the range

G           C       
Running and rambling 
    G
And chasing some stray

G    A7                      D
 And good cowboys don't ever change
D                          G
I tried to hold him in the home corral
G        D                       G
But the grasses were greener outside
   D                       
So I'm going to sit here in 
G
front of this door

    C                
And I've loaded up my 
   G
Cowboy's forty-four

          C                         
When the smoke clears 

there'll be a 
    G            C
new brand on his eyes

G          D             G      G7
This is my cowboy's last ride
 
 
[Chorus]

C          G                 G
Oh-oh-oh I hate to see him go
    C                       D
But I won't be staying home crying
C       G                 C
I-I-I I hate to watch him die
    G          D             G      G
But this is my cowboy's last ride
 
 
[Verse]

G        C           G
Cowboy remembers the old trails we rode
G         C                    D
 And he's back in the saddle tonight
G             C          
This time I'm letting the 
G
home fires burn out

G        A7          
 And I'm leaving when 
               D
I blow out his light 

        D               
Because I still remember 
     G
good watering holes

G        D          
 And the places that 
             G
Are open and wide

    D             
And I have decided 
   G
he won't put me down

  C                   
A filly should be free 
    G
for horsing around

    C         
And I will no 
          G           C
longer be hobbled and tied

G          D             G      G7
This is my cowboy's last ride
 
 
[Chorus]


C          G                 G
Oh-oh-oh I hate to see him go
    C                       D
But I won't be staying home crying
C       G                 C
I-I-I I hate to watch him die
    G          D             G      C
But this is my cowboy's last ride
G          D             G
This is my cowboy's last ride
