Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
He [G]al [Em]ways[G][C][G][Em]
[A]sin[D]gs [G]raggy music
to the [Em]cattle as he [Edim]swings[Bb]
[A]Back and forward in the saddle
on a [D]horse[Ebdim]
[D]That is syncopated, gated,
and is [G]such a funny [Em]meter
To the [A]roar of his re[D]peater,
how they [G]run
[C]When [Em]they hear the fella's gun
Because the [A]western [Em]folk[A] s all[Em] kno[A]w
[Em]He's [B]a high pollutin' shootin' scootin'
son of a gun from [Em]Arizona ragtime [Ebdim]cowboy Jo[G]e
[D]Joe[G] sin[Am]gs co[G]rn[Am]y lick[G]s to the cattle
[Em]He s[A]wings ba[Ebdim]ck and
[A]forth in the saddle
[D]He's on a horse with a jazzy gait
It [G]gets [E]ya in a [Eb]nervous state
[D]how [G]they run
[Em]When they hear the [A]fella's gone
because the folks out west all know
[Em]He's [B]a rootin',
tootin', highfalutin'
Son of the West from [Em]Arizona,
Ragtime [C]Cowboy [Ebdim]Joe[Em]
[C][G][Em][G][Em]
[A]Out [D]in California[G] where
the [D]wolf pack hunt[G]s
And [D]the only friend to guide you
is [E]Madman Muntz
[A]The one[D] least not[G]ed for his[D] brilliance
[Ddim]Is Ragti[E]me Cowboy Joe[A][D]
Did[A]n't get his [Bm]name
[B]from singin' [A]cow -cow blues
[D]Doesn't[A] kno[B]w enough
to [Cdim]pay his uni[B]on dues
[E]Giv[F#m]e him a guitar and he will blow[G] his fuse
[F#]Brot[B]her, what [F]a cr[E]ow,
he never [A]sings
Jump[E]in' [A]music [F#m]to the
cattle never [B]swings
Keeps a -sittin' in the saddle
plunkin' [E]strings
All four. The tunes and plays are dated.
[A]Beaver, Lulu, [F#m]Belle, we know they [F]never sell.
[E]He's such a c[A]art.
[Bm]About [B]as hef[A]ty as lit[B]tle Abn[A]er.
I [B]mean, he's [Cdim]got to [B]go.
[G]He's hig[A]h, he shoots, wea[G]rs boo[F#]ts.
[B]Rank time [E]cowboy [Fdim]Joey.[F#]
