I'm a poor lonesome cowboy 

I'm a long long way from home

And this poor lonesome cowboy 
          Em   F#m   Gm   G#m A Gm F#m Em 
Has got a long long way to roam 
 

     D                  D7 
Over mountains and over prairies 
     G                      Am 
From dawn 'til day is done 
Bm                   F#m 
My horse and me keep ridin' 
  G      A       D 
Into the settin' sun 
 
  Refrain 
 
There are guys who just figure 

Every problem with a gun 

And a finger on the trigger 

Can be dangerous hurt someone 
 
But problems solve much better 

By keeping calm and cool 

My horse and me keep ridin' 

I ain't nobody's fool 
 
  Refrain 
 
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy 

But it doesn't bother me 

'Cause this poor lonesome cowboy 

Prefers a horse for company 
 
Got nothing against women 

But I wave them all goodbye 

My horse and me keep riding 

We don't like being tied 
 
  Refrain
