CAPO: 1st FRET; KEY: G# ; 
PLAY: 
G 

G                C
a campfire, some coffee
       G             G7 
From a tin cup in my hand
C                                          G7 
Sure warms the fingers when it's G cold ...
G            C 
a-playin' an old guitar
A G            G7 
friend I under- stand
A7                               D       D7 
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul ...
A G              C 
 sleepin' in the moonlight
A G            G7 
blanket for my bed
C                               G       G7  
Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind ...
G                C 
Wakin' up in the mornin'
           G          Em  
   with an eagle over- head
         G             D       D7       G 
Makes me want to fly a- way be- fore my time  
 
CHORUS 
            G                 G7      C
And I think God must be a cow- boy at heart
        D         D7              G        D7 
He made wide open spaces from the start ...
        G                        G7 
He made grass and trees and moun-tains
         C  
   And a horse to be a friend
    D                      D7          G       G7 
And trails to lead old cow-boys home a-gain ... 
C
Night life and big cities 
      G                G7
Is al-right for awhile
C                                    G        G7 
Sure makes you feel good when you're there ...
        C 
But the country's so pretty
        G             Em 
It goes on and on for miles
A7                             D        D7 
 takes away my troubles and my cares ... 
 
CHORUS 
    D                      D7          G
And trails to lead old cow-boys home a-gain.
