(Main riff on "Cowboy Dan" verses:)
F#m
Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
F#m
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
F#m
He's gonna start a war He's gonna start a war
F#m
He hops in his pickup puts the pedal to the floor
F#m
And says "I got mine but I want more"
F#m
Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
F#m
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
F#m
He goes to the desert, fires his rifle in the sky
F#m
And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die"
F#m
Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
F#m
I didn't move to the city, the city moved to me
F#m
And I want out desperately
