Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][F][Em][F]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
I wake up in the [Em]morning,
[F]just glad my boots are on[G]
Instead of empty
in the [Em]whispering grasses
[F]Down the Five at Forest Law[G]n
On the set, the makeup [Em]girl brings me
[F]two raw eggs and a shot of gin[G]
Then I give it all up for that little [Em]blue pill
That promi[F]ses to bring it all back
to you a[G]gain

[Chorus 1]
Ride me down [C]easy,
[F]ride me down easy, fri[G]end
Tonight the [Em]western stars
are [F]shining bright a[G]gain

[Verse 2]
Here in the canyons above [Em]Sunset,
[F]the desert don't give up the fig[G]ht
A coyote with someone's Chi[Em]huahua
in its teeth [F]skitters 'cross
my veranda in the [G]night
Some lost sheep from Okla[Em]homa sips her
Mo[F]jito down at the Whiskey [G]Bar
Smiles and says she thinks
she re[Em]members me from that
[F]commercial with the credit car[G]d

[Chorus 2]
Hell, these days there ain't [C]no more,
[F]now there's just agai[G]n
Tonight the [Em]western stars
are [F]shining bright a[G]gain

[Interlude 1]
[Em][F][G][G]

[Verse 3]
Sundays I take my El Ca[Em]mino
[F]throw my saddle in and go[G]
East to the desert where the [Em]charros,
[F]they still ride and rop[G]e

[Chorus 3]
Our American [C]brothers cross the [F]wire
and bring the old ways with [G]them
Tonight the [Em]western stars
are [F]shining bright a[G]gain

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][G][G]
[Em][F][G][G]

[Verse 4]
Once I was shot by [Em]John Wayne,
[F]yeah, it was towards the end[G]
That one scene's bought me
a [Em]thousand drinks
Set me [F]up and I'll tell it
for you, [G]friend

[Chorus 4]
Here's to the [C]cowboys,
[F]riders in the whirlwin[G]d
Tonight the [Em]western stars
are [F]shining bright a[G]gain
And the [Em]western stars
are [F]shining bright a[G]gain

[Chorus 5]
Tonight the riders on [C]Sunset
are smo[F]thered in the Santa Ana [G]winds
And the [Em]western stars
are [F]shining bright a[G]gain
C'mon and ride me down [C]easy,
[F]ride me down easy, fri[G]end
'Cause tonight the [Em]western stars are [F]shining
bright a[G]gain

[Outro 1]
I woke up this [Em]morning
[F]just glad my boots
were [G]on
