[Verse 1]
D A/C#
Last night you told her
B A
You could never hold her cause a...
G D/F# A A/B A
Cowboy's just got to be free
D A/C#
Her heart was breakin'
B A
Yours was achin' but you...
G A D
Saddled up to follow your dreams
[Verse 2]
D A/C#
Coffee on your campfire
B A
Wind through the barb-wire
G D/F# A A/B A
You huddle close to the flames
D A/C#
Though she's far behind you
B A
The night wind reminds you it just...
G A D G
Keeps on whisperin' her name
[Chorus]
A G D G
You can make a run for the border
A G D D A/C# B
Try to hide at The Hole In The Wall
A/C#
But don't you know your arms are... achin' to hold her
G D/F# A
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall

You're ridin' for a fall
[Verse 3]
D A/C#
Midnight the moon's up
B A
Hands around your tin cup
G D/F# A A/B A
The frost settles in on the sage
D A/C#
The night's gettin' colder
B A
Well man you're gettin older
G A D
Tonight you're fellin' your age
[Verse 4]
D A/C#
Why don't you turn back just...
B A
Saddle up and backtrack
G D/F# A A/B A
You know you never find a love quite like hers... And tell me
D A/C#
On a cold lonesome evening
B A
What the hell good's your freedom
G A D
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs
[Chorus]
A G D G
You can make a run for the border
A G D D A/C# B
Try to hide at The Hole In The Wall
A/C#
But don't you know your arms are... achin' to hold her
G D/F# A
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall
A7sus4 A7 (2nd half of intro)
You're ridin' for a fall
[Outro]
G A7sus4 A7 (2nd half of intro)
Cowboy you're ridin' for a fall
