[Verse 1]
C
Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun
Dadd4add9 G
coming over yonder, when tomorrow comes
C F
Let me tell you buddy, and it won't be long
C G C
'til you find yourself singing your last cowboy song
[Chorus]
G F C
Yippie ki yi yay, when the round up ends
G F G
Yippie ki yi yay, and the campfire dims
C F
Yippie ki yi yay, he shouts and he sings,
C G C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
C F
[Verse 2]
C
When they wrap my body in the bindling sheet
Dadd4add9 G7
and they take my six irons and pull the boots from my feet
C F
Unsaddle my pony, she'll be itchin' to roam
C G C
I'll be halfway to heaven, under horsepower of my own
[Chorus]
G F C
Yippie ki yi yay, when the round up ends
G F G G7
Yippie ki yi yay, and the campfire dims
C F
Yippie ki yi yay, he shouts and he sings
C G C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
C F C F
[Outro]
G F C
Yippie ki yi yay, I'm glory bound
G F G
No more jingle jangle I'll lay my guns down
C F
Yippie ki yi yay, he shouts and he sings
C G C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
