G
I can use a better friend
C
than the one I’ve got, my shadow
G
Even when the sun goes down,
C
he will leave me by myself
G
In the mornin’ he returns,
C
but he doesn’t ever say much
G
I don’t wanna ride alone
C
down this dark and lonesome road
G
‘Cause even cowboys can get lonely
C
from time to time
G
C
‘Cause even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
G
Yes, but I, I know one thing,
C
I’ve come much to far
G
Yeah, to let you go now,
G
please, don’t let me go
C
Lord, don’t let me go
G
Share the silence with a fire,
C
roll the rest of my tobacco
G
Tellin’ stories to myself,
C
but I know them all too well (Mm)
G
When the desert night is cold,
C
I just want someone to hold me close
G
I don’t wanna die alone,
C
who’s gonna love me when I’m gone?
G
‘Cause even cowboys can get lonely
C
from time to time (Mm-hmm)
G
C
Even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes
G
Yes, but I, I know one thing,
C
I’ve come much too far
G
Oh, to let you go now,
G
please, don’t let me go
C
Lord, don’t let me go
G
Look into my naked eye,
C
reflect out into the horizon
G
Ooh, yet another day goes by
C
and there’s not a soul in sight
G
As I ride into the dark,
C
as I ride into the sunset
G
I guess it’s time to say goodbye
C
to the rider of the night
G
‘Cause even cowboys can get lonely
C
Lonely from time to time
G
C
‘Cause even cowboys can get lonesome sometimes
G
C
Yes, but I, I know one thing
G
C
I know one thing I’ve come much too far
G
Oh, to let you go now,
G
please, don’t let me go
C
Lord, don’t let me go
G
‘Cause even cowboys do get lonely
C
Oh, just like me
G
Yes, even me
C
Oh, just like me
D
G
Even me
