Chris Ledoux - The Last Cowboy In Town Chords

(1st verse)
 
     D                       G                D
In a little Texas town, at a bar by the rodeo grounds
        D                                A
You can see him ridin' in every Saturday night
            D                              G                D
Well, there ain't no hitchin' post but his horse has got so old
     D                     A                    D
He'd stay in front of that bar if he stayed all night
 
   D                           G                      D
He sits on the same ol' stool, watchin' the boys play pool
          D                                  A
Holdin' a can of Pearl beer in his calloused hand
   D                                  G              D
We don't know how old he is, he never had no wife or kids
         D                   A             D
But they say he never backed down from any man
 
 
(chorus)
            D
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
            G                   D
He once had girls that loved to tango
       D                                     G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A                                            D
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
 
 
(2nd verse)
 
     D                              G                 D
He's never owned a suit and there's holes in both his boots
    D                              A
But he don't give a damn unless it rains
         D                              G                 D
Well, he lives his life that way but he still recalls the days
     D               A              D
When every cowboy in Texas knew his name
 
    D                               G              D
And holdin' up his faded jeans is a belt we've all seen
         D                                   A
It's the only thing he owns that still looks new
        D                               G                        D
He just wears it Saturday night so that belt buckle still shines bright
       D            A         D
It says, 'All Around Cowboy 42'
 
 
(chorus)
            D
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
            G                   D
He once had girls that loved to tango
       D                                     G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A                                            D
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
 
 
(3rd verse)
     D                               G                        D
Now, midnight he's always stoned and most of the crowd's gone home
       D                                A
And he rides his old horse to the rodeo grounds
         D                                   G          D
Well, he closes his eyes and hears a million rodeo fans cheer
    D                           A         D
But he don't know he's the last cowboy in town
 
 
(chorus)
            D
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
            G                   D
He once had girls that loved to tango
       D                                     G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A                                            D
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
 
 
(chorus)
            D
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
            G                   D
He once had girls that loved to tango
       D                                     G
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
A                                            D
It's been years but I'm sure he recalls them all
