Rod Clements - Cowboy In The Rain
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
C G C
Out of Missouri with a song and a notion
F C G F
California's where it's got to be
C G C
Chasing the dream to the big shining ocean
F G
In the days when the loving was free
[Verse 2]
F C G C
And they knew on the Strip when the first chords were chiming
F C G
They knew this was no false alarm
F C G C
So they took off on a trip and they just kept right on climbing
F G
Have pity on the boy from the farm
[Chorus]
F C G C
Did you see the bright lights of West Hollywood and Sunset?
F C G
Smile when they all knew your name
F C G Am
As the house lights go down in another English town
F G C F
Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain
[Verse 3]
C G C
Out on the road in a grey Northern winter
F C G
Opening for a strange talking band
F C G C
Trying to keep warm when they're trying to keep you sober
F G
And tonight it's getting out of hand
[Chorus]
F C G C
Did you see the bright lights of the Lone Star on Broadway?
F C G
Smile when the girls knew your name
F C G Am
As the house lights go down in another English town
F G C
Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain
[Instrumental]
C Am G F C Am G C Am G F C Am G C
[Verse 4]
F C G C
It's a long way back to Tipton by 747
F C G
Eight miles down to the ground
F C G C
You can play your tambourine and you just might get to heaven
F G
But tonight, who says where the hell we're bound?
[Chorus]
F C G C
Did you see the bright lights as you came into Heathrow?
F C G
Smile as you walked off the plane
F C G Am
As the house lights go down in another English town
F G C
Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain
F C G Am
As the house lights go down in another English town
F G C Am
Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain
F G C Am F G C
Let's hear it for the cowboy in the rain
