Where Cowboys Are King

Tom: G

          G
There's a dusty hat up on the dash of every truck you meet

Country roads and fenceposts as far as you can see
Am7                          D                            G
Billboard sign says, "Rodeo, June eleven through thirteen"
         G
When you get to town just look around for the Rusty Nail Cafe

Where the old hands sip their coffee and relive their glory days
  Am7                        D
A modern day Charlie Russell scene
                      G
Where cowboys are king


[Chorus]
  C
I get back there every now and then 
G
Turn a few steers and rope and pen 
       C
Just a couple of days and I'm gone again
D
Chasin' this old six string
          C              D
Oh, but I sure love to be
                 G
Where cowboys are king


[Verse 2]
         G
Runs the horses down, turn 'em out, head over to the bar

There'll be George Strait on the jukebox, and I'll bet the chances are
                 Am7                   D
There'll be some cowgirls in well-worn jeans
                 G
Where cowboys are king


[Chorus]
  C
I get back there every now and then
G
Turn a few steers and rope and pen
       C
Just a couple of days and I'm gone again
D
Chasin' this old six string
          C               D
Oh, but I sure love to be
                 G
Where cowboys are king


[Refrain]
F               C              G
Boys, as bad as I wish I could stay
F                C          D
I just hope this never goes away


[Outro]
         C                               G
So I can get back here every now and then

Turn a few steers and rope And pen
C
Spend a little time with some good old friends
D
Y'all make it so hard to leave
          C              D
Oh, but I sure love to be
                  G
Where cowboys are king
          C              D
Oh, and I sure love to be
                 G
Where cowboys are king
