Are There Any More Real Cowboys?  - Neil Young

Intro strum with the Davy Crockett-ish melody on harmonica
A-D-A-D-A-A-D-A-A-E   (You have to get a feel for how many counts each chord gets-you can hear him strumming pretty easily, though, in that part).

          A5    D5         A5
Are there any more real cowboys
  D5                 A5
left out in these hills?

Will the fire hit the iron
        E5
one more time?
          A5        D5     A5
And will one more dusty pick-up
        A5       D5       A5
coming rolling down the road 
        B5           D5                 E5
With a load of feed before the sun gets high?
        B5                D5            E5
Well i hope that working cowboy never dies

(willie sings-same chords)

Not the one who's snortin' cocaine
when the honky-tonk's all closed
but the one that prays for more rain
heaven knows
that the good feed brings the money
and the money buys the clothes
not the diamond sequins shining on TV
but the kind the working cowboy really needs

(key change to C5 )
           C5        F5       C5
Are there any more country families
       F5               C5
Still working hand in hand

trying hard to stay together
             G5
and make a stand?
          C5        F5                C5
Well the rows and rows and rows of houses
        F5                C5
come creepin' up on the land
           D5              F5                     G5
where the cattle graze and old grey barn still stands
          D5             F5               G5
Are there any more real cowboys in this land?
          D5             F5               G5
Are there any more real cowboys in this land?

Well, I don't feel 100% about this one, but see what you think.  It's a decent approximation.
