D                       A            Dmaj7  D
Tell me a story 'bout a fella with a crazy dream 
D                        A         Dmaj7   D
Everybody tells him that it won't amount to anything 
Bm                F#m
He fires the shot heard around the world 
G                      D
He wins the prize and gets the girl 
D                        A                    Dmaj7      D
That's the kind of story I like – the kind that makes you think 

D                       A           Dmaj7     D
Sing me a song about a cowboy with an achin' heart 
D                         A         Dmaj7      D
Ridin' along the lonesome prairie 'bout to fall apart 
Bm                F#m
Every time those doggies moan 
G                   D
He doesn't feel so all alone 
D                             A                 Dmaj7         D
That's the kind of song that I like – the kind that breaks your heart 

Solo (Just repeat chords here)
D                        A         D       D
Paint me a picture of a girl with a secret smile 
D                       A         Dmaj7             D
Lookin' back at ya 'cross the years through ancient eyes 
Bm                    F#m
You're standin' there like an open door 
G                    D
'Cause she's seen it all before 
D                          A                  Dmaj7         D
That's the kind of picture I like – the kind that makes you sigh
