Hank Williams Jr
Old Nashville Cowboys
Capo 2
G D G
The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time
G Em G
He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine
G C G
With a head full of music and an old nursery rhyme
G D G
A heart full of sadness and dark sunken eyes
G D G
He told me they've cheated he told me they stole
G Em G
The strenght from his youth and the songs from his soul
G C G
They said he was family till he got too old
G
And he called them miners, mother lode finders
D G
Digging so deep in search of more gold
D G
Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range
D G
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James
C G C Em C
Now the good guys on TV seem bad ain't it strange
G D G
And the old Nashville cowboys missed out on the change
[Instrumental]
G D G G Em G G C G G D G
G D G
The old cowboy's life now is gone with the past
G Em G
Like whiskey he drank it all went out too fast
G C G
He didn't know how to make each swallow last
G D G
And a head waitress won't be back to fill up his glass
D G
Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range
D G
Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James
C G C Em C
Is anyone listening or is everyone blind
G D G
And old Nashville cowboys will sing for a dime
G D G
And hard times are cheap at the end of the line
