Trick Pony - Once A Cowboy Chords

Once A Cowboy
written by Jeffery Steele, Shane Minor, and Brett Michaels
This is one of my favorite Jeffery Steele tunes.   You can find another verson
on his "Outlaw" record, if you're curious.


CAPO I


INTRO: C  F  C  F

C                  G
He's been known to lose more than he wins
         F                         C
He falls down just to get back up again
                               G
The way he smiles his face is weathed and leathered and lined
         F                          G
You can tell he's learned to laugh thru a lot of hard times
   C                          G
He gets by without shovin', a drifter and a dreamer
F                                          G
He gets stoned on a roll-your-own, what ya get is what ya see here


CHORUS:
       C                 G
Once a cowboy, always a cowboy
            Am                                        F
Between the blue sky and unbroken ground he wears his freedom like a crown
                      C                           G
Let the whole world around him change, that don't mean a thing
        Am     F           C
Once a cowboy    always a cowboy


F  C


She tries to tell him he's runnin' out of time
Oh but that ain't what you'd see if you were lookin' thru his eyes
He's still chasin' sunsets, still tryin' to find
Something better than what he'd left behind
She tries to love him but somehow she understands
That it was over the moment it began


CHORUS


BREAK: C  G  Am  F  

C                  G
He's been known to lose more than he wins
         F                          C (let ring)
He falls down just to get back up again


CHORUS


OUTRO: C  G  Am  F (repeated out)
