Intro: C  F  C    D  G  C 

                             C-Cadd9-C-F 
I work as a hand in San Saba 
                        C 
Fences and windmills to mend 

I been out on a crew, eating tumbleweed stew 
      D                         G 
Three weeks in the rain and the wind 


      F                   C 
I got mud on my boots and blood on my money 
                             F 
And I'm looking to head into town 
       C  
But as soon as my truck rounds the corner 
         G                      C 
That old deputy is a-staring me down 


            F           C      C-Cadd9-C-F 
Where can a good man go crazy? 
                       C 
Where can a cowboy get stoned? 

If I get a wild hair, to go off on a tear 
    D                 G 
I'm liable to end up alone 


F               C 
Nobody wants to run with me now 
                             F 
But I'm restless down to the bone 
C           F           C     C-Cadd9-C-G 
Where can a good man go crazy 
                       C 
Where can a cowboy get stoned? 


Bridge: 
Am               C 
Old man, are you listening?  
           Am               C 
'Cause I'm down here asking you 
Am              C 
I know you made me this way 
   F                        G 
So what do you expect me to do? 


Instrumental: D  G  D   G   D     E  A  G  D    G  D    A  D 


             **Key Change - Up 2 Semitones** 


I drove out of town with my pay check 
    G                              D 
Bad snake blood running through my veins 

Hooked up with a truckload of illegals 
      E                A 
And a pocket full of cocaine 


   G                    D 
We had us some fun, now I'm on the run 
                           G 
And I won't be coming back soon 
     D 
Just me and some 'ranged coyotes 
        A                     D 
Howling up at the cold desert moon 


            G           D       G 
Where can a good man go crazy? 
                       D 
Where can a cowboy get stoned? 

Nobody wants me hanging around 
  E                         A 
I guess I'll have to go it alone 


     G                        D 
I'll have to head down to the border  
                                           G 
I guess and I don't know when I'll be back home 
D           G           D       A 
Where can a good man go crazy?  
                       D 
Where can a cowboy get stoned? 


    Bm              D 
And if I don't ever make it back 
        G                          D 
You can carve this right on my tombstone 
            G           D       A 
Where can a good man go crazy?  
                       D        G   A   D 
Where can a cowboy get stoned?
