[Intro] (with whistling)
C F C F
[Verse 1]
C
I've lived in lonely cities
F
I've crossed deserts on camel back
Cm F
And I've filled the halls of folklore with things I'd... rather we forget
G Am F G Am F
I could sweep you off the street so saying this is goddamn tough
G Am F
But this town might be big enough...
[Verse 2]
Cm
See, I reckon what you're saying
Am
But this dog's run every course
Cm
I've roamed without my boots on
F
I've raced without my horse
G Am F G Am F
And then I ate my horse's meat straight from my horse's bones
G
'Cause this dog
N.C.
Must roam alone
[Interlude]
C G Am G x2
[Verse 3]
C
You could shoot me in the mountains
F
In the cold fat rain
Cm
We could do it in the countryside, as we
F
walk the plain
G Am F
It wouldn't give us any closure
G Am F
All cowboys need to trust
G Am F
That this town might be big enough
N.C.
For both of us
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4] (sounds better arpeggiated)
C
Well, I'd... be a doggamn liar
Am
If I said this ain't a lonely town
Cm
And what I wouldn't give
F
...to have a friend around
G C F
We could trade in all our silver bullets
G C F
And buy a patch of dust
G C F
This town might just be big enough
N.C.
For all of us
[Chorus] (more screaming from Sir Jimmy)
