Verse 1:
G5 
Up in the mornin' 
D5 
It's off to work I go 
C5 
And drivin' along  

I got a feelin' for the country 
G5          D5 
Deep in my soul 
C5 
I wasn't made for the big town 
G5                      D5 
I need boots spurs and jeans 
C5              G5 
Outside these city limits 
                D5        G5 
Where the air's cool and clean 
          D5 
And I'm a city cowboy 
C5 
Longin for the saddle and the pull of the rains 
D5 
A city cowboy 
C5 
Tryin' to shake these city chains 
D5 
And all my life 
C5           
I've been dancin to the rhythem of a different song 
G5                   D5           C5 
Tryin to get a long way out of town 
D5                   G5 C5 D5 C5 
I'm a city cowboy  
 
V2: 
G5 
And high rise buildings 
D5 
Workin' all day long 
C5 
I got a feelin I've been 
     G5               D5 
Doin everything all wrong 
C5 
I need a southern sweetheart 
G5                       D5 
And a place to call my own 
C5                       G5 
Workin' the range from 5 to 9 
       D5              G5 
And my fingers to the bone 
          D5 
And I'm a city cowboy 
C5 
Ridin' along across the plains 
D5 
A city cowboy 
C5 
Tryin' to break these city chains 
D5 
Ridin' hard 
C5           
I'm lookin' for that song that's in my soul 
D5                         B5   C5 D5 
And it sure ain't Rock N' Roll 
D5                   G5  C5 
I'm a city cowboy  
 
Bridge: 
C5   D5                C5 
I won't let this feeling die 
G5       D5                      C5 
forever yearning for that open sky 
          D5 
And I'm a city cowboy 
C5 
Longin for the saddle and the pull of the rains 
D5 
A city cowboy 
C5 
Tryin' to shake these city chains 
D5 
And all my life 
C5           
I've been dancin to the rhythem of a different song 
G5                   D5           C5 
Tryin to get a long way out of town 
D5                   G5 C5 D5 C5 
I'm a city cowboy

Up in the mornin'
