[Strophe]
D              A/C# 
Last night you told her 
B               A 
You could never hold her  cause a... 
G             D/F#         A  A/B  A 
Cowboy's just got to be free 
D               A/C# 
Her heart was breakin' 
B         A 
Yours was achin'  but you... 
G             A            D 
Saddled up to follow your dreams
[Strophe]
D               A/C# 
Coffee on your campfire 
B                A 
Wind through the barb-wire 
G          D/F#          A      A/B  A 
You huddle close to the flames 
D                  A/C# 
Though she's far behind you 
B                A 
The night wind reminds you  it just... 
G        A               D     G 
Keeps on whisperin' her name
[Refrain]
A              G              D     G 
You can make a run for the border 
A                  G           D      D  A/C#  B 
Try to hide at The Hole In The Wall 
                                  A/C# 
But don't you know your arms are... achin' to hold her 
    G           D/F#                 A 
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall 
       A7sus4  A7 
You're ridin'  for a fall

[Strophe]
D            A/C# 
Midnight the moon's up 
B                 A 
Hands around your tin cup 
G                 D/F#      A     A/B  A 
The frost settles in on the sage 
D                   A/C# 
The night's gettin' colder 
B                          A 
Well man you're gettin older 
G              A            D 
Tonight you're fellin' your age
[Strophe]
D             A/C# 
Why don't you turn back  just... 
B             A 
Saddle up and backtrack 
             G            D/F#            A    A/B  A 
You know you never find a love quite like hers...     And tell me 
     D             A/C# 
On a cold lonesome evening 
         B                A 
What the hell good's your freedom 
          G                   A            D 
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs
[Refrain]
A              G              D     G 
You can make a run for the border 
A                  G           D      D  A/C#  B 
Try to hide at The Hole In The Wall 
                                  A/C# 
But don't you know your arms are... achin' to hold her

And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall

You're ridin'  for a fall
