I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
B E
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand
C#m G#m
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
C#m G#m
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
C#m G#m
'cause I ride the range in a Ford V Eight
C#m A E C#m A E
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay
[Verse 2]
B E
I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
B E
And I come to town just to hear the band
C#m G#m
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
C#m G#m
'bout the big corral where the doggies go
C#m G#m
'cause I learned them all on the radio
C#m A E C#m A E
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay
[Verse 3]
B E
I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
B E
Where the West is wild 'round the Borderland
C#m G#m
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
C#m G#m
And the Indians make you a rug or two
C#m G#m
And the old Bar X is a Barbecue
C#m A E C#m A E
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay
