[Intro]
A  E  F#m  D
[Estrofe]
    A 
Her hands wrapped up in mine 
 E 
Tears rollin' out of her eyes 
   F#m 
No messin' with a made-up mind 
    D 
Sun settin' on goodbye 
           A          E 
Yeah, it's hard to believe 
          F#m                  D      A/D 
It wasn't me tryin' to leave this time
[Refrão]
                    A 
It ain't always the cowboy 
                        E 
That ain't got a lot of hang around 
             F#m 
Ain't got no settle down in their boots 
  D 
Gone's just what they do 
     A 
That restless running 
E 
Searching for something 
F#m                                     D 
 Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet 
         A          E              D 
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
[Estrofe]
                A 
I've never seen over from this side 
            E 
Never heard lonely get this quiet 
       F#m 
Still, I can't keep from smiling 
       D 
'Cause damn, that girl can fly
[Refrão]
                    A 
It ain't always the cowboy 
                        E 
That ain't got a lot of hang around 
             F#m 
Ain't got no settle down in their boots 
  D 
Gone's just what they do 
     A 
That restless running 
E 
Searching for something 
F#m                                     D 
 Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet 
         A          E              F#m 
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
[Instrumental]
D  A  E
[Puente]
             F#m                E 
A tumbleweed heart chasin' that wind 
       D 
Goin' too far, wherever that is
[Refrão]
                    A 
It ain't always the cowboy 
                         E 
That ain't got a lot of hang around 
             F#m 
Ain't got no settle down in their boots 
  D 
Gone's just what they do 
     A 
That restless running 
E 
Searching for something 
F#m                                     D 
 Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet 
         A          E               D      A/D 
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away 
       A     E 
Rides away 
                    F#m     D 
It ain't always the cowboy
