Lonesome Cowboy

I am just a lonesome cowboy             
Cm
And I'm travelling all alone
Cm
I have not even got a nickel

To call my baby on the phone


[Verse 1]
 Eb                       Ab
Just beyond the mountain lies a city
Eb             Gm     Eb
And I hear it calling me
 Eb            Ab      Eb       Ab
Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy
 Eb                  Gm        Fm
Here is where you'll find your destiny
Eb                Ab           Eb
In my dreams the lights shine bright
    Ab                                     
and pretty
Eb             Ab     Gm
Near to me and yet so far
Eb            Ab   Eb       Ab
Will I always be a lonesome cowboy
Eb        Gm             Fm
Am I only reaching for a star


[Bridge]
Cm    Cm    Cm               Ab Eb
Ride. Ride, ride, ride along cowboy
Cm     Cm    Cm               Gm
Sing, sing, sing, sing a song cowboy


[Verse 2]
Eb           Ab        Eb       Ab
Will I ever leave this lonesome valley
Eb             Ab          Gm
Really see the lights that shine
Eb               Ab       Eb
Got to find what lies beyond this                     
mountain
Eb              Gm                Fm
Got to rope and tie that dream of mine


[Outro]
Cm
I am just a lonesome cowboy
Cm
And I'm travelling all alone
Cm
If you don't call me baby
