Verse 
C                     F 
  When I was young and just a boy 
  C              F 
I Had myself a dream 
C           G          Am 
  I'd get a horse and ride the range 
F              G 
  With Roy and Gene 
C                           F 
  We'd save the girl in the nick of time 
    C                F 
And have the fastest guns 
C        G              Am 
  Sing a song while the credits rolled 
F                        G 
  And disappear into the setting sun 

F                       C 
  I didn't want to play football 
F                  C 
  Or be a business man 
F                   C                F                G 
  All I ever really wanted to do was play in a cowboy band 

   F  
So give me a guitar 
         C 
And some shined up boots 
        F                 C 
And I'll show you where I stand 
F                      C      Am 
  Somewhere out on the Navajo trail 
F              G      C   
  Playin' in a cowboy band

Verse 
C                    F 
  When I was nine I stood in line 
       C                       F 
To see Merle and The Strangers play 
             C        G            Am 
But when the show was over and the lights went down 
  F                  G 
I climbed up on that stage 
C                        F 
   I looked at all those vacant seats  
    C             F 
and I just had to smile 
         C        G        Am 
'Cause I knew one day that I would play  
              F              G 
and they'd be dancin' in the aisles 

   F  
So give me a guitar 
         C 
And some shined up boots 
        F                 C 
And I'll show you where I stand 
F                      C      Am 
  Somewhere out on the lone prarie   
F              G      C   
  Playin' in a cowboy band

   Listen to the rhythm of the bass and drums 
Am                                F              G 
   (Eh-EEH Eh-EEH) It sounds like cowboys on the run (Woo hoo-OOooh)

  Somewhere out on the stage tonight   
F              G         C   
  Playin' in a cowboy    band 
F                             C          Am
