G5
I've been walking these streets so long 

Singing the same old song 

I know every crack on these dirty sidewalks of Broadway 
      C5
Where hustle is the name of the game 
                                                    G5
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain 
               D5
There's been a load of comprimising 
       C5               G5
On the road to my hori zon 
    C5                      A5                     D5
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me 
                          G5
Chorus: Like a rhinestone cowboy  
                                              D5
Riding our on a horse in a star spangled rode o 
           G5
Rhinestone cowboy getting cards and lettters from people I don't  
     D5
even know 
                       C5         D5
Offers coming over the phone..... 
 
Well, I really don't mind the rain 
And a smile can hide the pain 
But you're down when you're riding a train 
That's taking the long way 
But I dream of the things I'll do 
With a subway token and a dollar 
Tucked inside my shoe 
There's been a load of compromsing 
On the road to my horizon 
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me 
 
Chorus:
