(some lyrics might be wrong)


Capo 2

F , G , C  x2

           G                     F               C
You could say I?ve reached that time I know my trade
            G                   F                C   
And that I know how to care for my guitar and I know how to get up late 
   Am                Em              
Comfortable when I sleep on the floor
                F                     C
I?ve played a fair few shows and I?m gonna play more 
         G                           F                  C              
And all along the while I was just trying to make people smile 

       C   G    F
I play cowboy chords
       C    G        F
These air conditioned words
      C              G           F              G       
About longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs 
        C  G   F
I sing simple songs 
       C      G  F
About rights and wrongs
      C              G          F              G         
About finding that trail that leads away from everyone

F , G , C  

      G              F              C
And darling I know I do not give you much
        G              F                C
I get hungry for a wondering and then I don?t come back for months
       Am               Em
And I keep your picture by my side
      F                 C
It?s in my wallet, it?s on my mind 
             G                 F
Every song I know, contains a whisper of your soul 

       C   G    F
I play cowboy chords
       C    G        F
These air conditioned words
      C              G           F              G       
About longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs 
        C  G   F
I sing simple songs 
       C      G  F
About rights and wrongs
      C              G          F             G         
About finding that trail that leads away from everyone

F , G , C

           F         G             C
And so my days slip away all the same
         F               G             C
Rolling wheels, hotels rooms and going grey
         F                 G          C
Casting glances over my shoulder as I go 
          F               G               C
Tying knots and dwell on things I do not know 
 
            G                 F                  C
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
           G                   F                 C
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
           G                   F                C
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
           G                   F                   C
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
