It was the mid-late 70's and a group of gentlemen from Ottawa decided they'd show the 
how much better Canadian country rock is. The tune went a little something like this:

ROCK & ROLL COWBOYS

INTRO CHORDS G - F#/D - E

VERSE 1


G                             C
Saw you coming into town just yesterday
Am                     Bm         C             D
It looked like you had a posse or two upon your heels
C
A seedy crew
D
I'm telling you
                 G                                 Am
Wouldn't want to meet yous on some darkened street no..no..
                               D
I've heard all about the likes of you
(Yeah you look like...)

CHORUS
C       D               G
Outlaws waiting for the stage
C           D            G
Desperadoes from another age
   C                          D                G    
E->
So lock up your daughters and hide your silver away
                    C           D           G
Those rock and roll cowboys are on the road again

VERSE 2
G                                  C
Drifting round the country like you had no home
Am            Bm       C                  D
Every night a party or two before you turn in
C
A sorry crew
D
I'm telling you
                    D           Am
Wonder where you'll be in a few years from now
                              D
Wonder what the ladies see in you
C                     G
Say ain't I seen your faces before
        C               G
On some booking agent's wall
C                             G              D
Staring out so spaced from a glossy eight-by-ten
   C                     G
Or maybe on a late night duster
   C          G
Or on some tv show
    C                         G                   D
But hey I know somewhere I've seen you crazed old men
(Yeah you look like...)

REPEAT CHORUS X4
