Intro E X 9  B X 4  E X 4 

E
Well there's a lonesome feeling that comes over me
E                        B
When I hear that highway moan.
E
I know that's where the good lord meant for me to be
   B                        E
A dreamin' drifter far from home
E
I roam from town to town out on the interstate
                         B
I'm always only passing through
E
I need my womans love but she's so far away
E     B                E
I'm singing the cowboy blues

chorus

E                 G              A         G
Stranger dont'ya know I'd like to be your friend
E           G         B 
If I had the time to stay
E            G                 A       G
But im a tumbleweed a blowlin' in the wind
E                 G      B
I got to catch another stage
E               G           A    G
I strap on my guitar just like a 45
E             G           A  B
I pray each night my aim is true
E             G                      A        G
I'm shootin' for the heart of lookin in your eyes

I'm singing the cowboy blues

Solo Blusey Beat 

E             G             A      G
Sometimes I think about settlein' down
E               G  B
Fade off into a memory
E                G                  A         G
But every night when I step out to face the crowd
E                   G       B
I know this is the life for me
E               G          A     G    
I strap on my guitar just like a 45
E             G           A  B
I pray each night my aim is true
E             G                      A        G
I'm shootin' for the heart of lookin in your eyes
