  • Artist:

    Sara Storer

Intro: C         F         G 

C        F         G        F         C 

C          F        G           C 
Once long ago a cowboy you were 
     C              G/B       F/A (ascending bass - G A B ) 
With fire and courage inside 
       C          F                G             C         
You'd sing a loud yodel on your mustering journey 
       C          G/B            F   G  (asc  bass - G A B ) 
With a gun and a swag at your side. 
 
Chorus 

 
    C                 F            G 
So sit there and smile old man 
     C                F            G 
And rattle and tell me your day 
         C            F 
You've slept in too long  
           C               G 
Cause your rum was too strong 
F         C             G         
Did you have a good Sunday 
      F             G                  Am 
Or are they all just the same 
     C              G                    C 
Life now only leaves you to blame 
 
For you'd ride and you'd settle under stars full of envy 

For they wish they could fall in your swaggy below 

But then they stare up and wonder why 

They fell underneath the sky 

Just like you, a forgotten cowboy. 
 
Chorus 
 

    C                 F            G 
So sit there and smile old man 
     C                F            G 
And rattle and tell me your day 
         C            F 
You've slept in too long  
           C               G 
Cause your rum was too strong 
F         C             G         
Did you have a good Sunday 
      F             G                  Am 
Or are they all just the same 
     C              G                    C 
Life now only leaves you to blame 
 
Chorus 

 
    C                 F            G 
So sit there and smile old man 
     C                F            G 
And rattle and tell me your day 
         C            F 
You've slept in too long  
           C               G 
Cause your rum was too strong 
F         C             G         
Did you have a good Sunday 
      F             G                  Am 
Or are they all just the same 
     C              G                    C 
Life now only leaves you to blame 
 
 
F         C             G         
Did you have a good Sunday 
      F             G                  Am 
Or are they all just the same 
     C              G                    C 
Life now only leaves you to blame
