capo: 2nd fret

[intro]

G  D  Em  C

[verse (1)]

      G
Her hands wrapped up in mine
D
Tears rollin' out of her eyes
   Em
No messin' with a made-up mind
    C
Sun settin' on goodbye
           G         D
Yeah, it's hard to believe
          Em                 C
It wasn't me tryin' to leave this time

[chorus]

                    G
It ain't always the cowboy
                         D
That ain't got a lot of hang around
                    Em
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
  C
Gone's just what they do

     G
That restless running
D
Searching for something
Em
  leaving love in the dust of a midnight
G         C
Chevrolet--
         G
It ain't always
    Em    D            C      G
The cowboy-- that rides-- away--

[verse (2)]

                G
I've never seen over from this side
            D
Never heard lonely get this quiet
       Em
Still, i can't keep from smiling
       C
'cause damn, that girl can fly

[chorus]

                    G
It ain't always the cowboy
                         D
That ain't got a lot of hang around
                    Em
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
  C
Gone's just what they do

     G
That restless running
D
Searching for something
Em
  leaving love in the dust of a midnight
G         C
Chevrolet--
         G
It ain't always
    Em    D            Em
The cowboy-- that rides-- away

[instrumental]

G  Em  D

[bridge]

             Em                 D
A tumbleweed heart chasin' that wind
       C     G          Em
Goin' too far, wherever that is

[chorus]

   C                G
It ain't always the cowboy
                         D
That ain't got a lot of hang around
                    Em
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
  C
Gone's just what they do

     G
That restless running
D
Searching for something
Em
  leaving love in the dust of a midnight
G         C
Chevrolet--
         G
It ain't always
    Em    D            C      G
The cowboy-- that rides-- away--

It ain't always the cowboy
              Her hands wrapped up in mine
Tears rollin' out of her eyes
No messin' with a made-up mind
Sun settin' on goodbye
Yeah, it's hard to believe
It wasn't me tryin' to leave this time

It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

I've never seen over from this side
Never heard lonely get this quiet
Still I can't keep from smilin'
'Cause damn that girl can fly

It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

A tumbleweed heart, chasin' that wind
Goin' too far, wherever that is

It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

Rides away
It ain't always the cowboy
