  You've a long long way to roam 
 

D5 
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy 

I'm a long long way from home 
                       F#5 
And this poor lonesome cowboy 
          E5   F#5   G5   G#5 A5 G5 F#5 E5 
Has got a long long way to roam 
 

     D5                  D5 
Over mountains and over prairies 
     G5                      A5 
From dawn 'til day is done 
B5                   F#5 
My horse and me keep ridin' 
  G5      A5       D5 
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
