Working Cowboy Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Eb][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Discouraged is the word these
days [F]at homes acros the [C]range
The livestock markets down and it don't
look [D]like it's gonna [G]change
[C]Nobody's found a cure for
[F]what we are goin' [C]through
But I'll tell you boys just
[G]what I'm gonna [C]do
Well I'm gonna saddle up old paint
[F]right after shipping [C]time
Ride out on the mountain among the
[D]aspens and [G]the pines[C]
Take along my fishing pole
and [F]leave my cares behind
[C]And find myself a lit[G]tle
piece of [C]mind[Eb][F][C]
I'm gonna [F]ride up on the mountain
[C]live like a mountain man
[F]Lay my body on the ground
[D]eat from a fryin' [G]pan
I [C]know it's not the answer but
I'm [F]gonna try [C]to lose
These dog gone low [F]down [G]workin' cowboy
[C]blues

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

[Verse 2]
Well [C]next year it might get better aw
that's [F]what they always [C]say
But I've seen a string of next years come
and [D]Lord they're all the [G]same
But as [C]long as there's a mountain,
some[F]place to get [C]away
Well this old cowboy just [G]might not go insane
[C]I'm[Eb] gonn[F]a [C]ride up on[F]
[C]the mountain...[F][D][G][C]
[F][C]
These dog gone low [G]down[C][F]
[G]lonesome workin' cowboy blues

[Outro 1]
