[Intro 1]
[G][F][C][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]there was no deny
[D]ing the fire in his eye[G]s
it was [Am]more [G]than pueblo whis[D]key
it was more [G]than [D]a lonely night
[Em]two hundred miles from[Am] home
[D]perfectly alone

[Verse 2]
[Am]he had no apologie[D]s in his pocket
[G]it was rig[Am]ht there on [G]his han[D]d
a [G]golden wed[D]ding band
[Em]when hearts began to p[Am]ound
he stood [D]his ground

[Verse 3]
[G]she lights a c[F]andle for
a cow[C]boy[D]
and wonders why [G]she's so [C]alone
he was a [G]man of [Dm]his word
it was one [Am]she'd never heard
he was the [D]only [G]man[Am] who [G]ever[D] sai[G]d,
[C]no

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]she said, "is there noth[D]ing
i can do to [G]please you?"
he [Am]said, "girl,
you make [D]love sound so [G]easy
[Am]and it's hard to [G]turn [D]away
but it's [G]harder [D]to stay
[Em]and either way i go,[Am]
oh it's gonna be a [D]long ride home"

[Verse 5]
[G]she lights a c[F]andle for
a cow[C]boy[D]
and wonders why [G]shes so [C]alone
he was a [G]man of [Dm]his word
it was one [Am]she'd never heard
he was [D]the only [G]man[Am] who [G]ever[D] sai[G]d,
[C]no no no

[Em]and as he walked out t[Am]he door
she loved him [D]all the more

[Verse 7]
[G]she lights a candle for
a cow[C]boy[D]
and wonders [G]why she's
still [C]alone, (still alone)
he was a [G]man of his [Dm]word
it was one [Am]she'd never heard
he was the [D]only [G]man
[Am]who [G]ever[D] said[G][C]
oh, he was [D]the only [G]man[Am] who [G]ever[D] sai[G]d,
[C]no
