[Verse 1]
Am                                  F
Seven hundred heads of cattle on an old forgotten trail
G                             Am
Six cowboys, one old man and another day of hell
Am                                 F
Chuckwagon lagging behind from the strain of a broken wheel
G                                      E
The only thing to look forward to is a campfire and a meal
 
[Intro Riff]
Am
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                     F
Sleeping 'neath an open sky, with just stars above their heads
G                               Am
A saddle for a pillow, and some sagebrush for a bed
Am                      F
Waking up tomorrow was merely done by chance
G                                E
Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance
 
[Chorus]
         C          G             Dm
When cowboys didn't dance, didn't wear designer shirts
          F
And their hearts were filled with memories
      E
Their bodies filled with hurt
           C              G
They would sit around the campfire
      Dm
And exchange a piercing glance
 F                          E
Back when the west was wild, and cowboys didn't dance.
 
[Intro Riff]
Am
 
[Verse 3]
Am                                    F
Pour coffee from an old tin cup, more sweat upon the brow
G                            Am
Another day of chasing, that same old lonely cow
Am                      F
And every new horizon, begins a brand new day
G                                     E
Thirteen hundred miles to go, as they slowly made their way
Am                                      F
Across the plains of Texas, through the Colorado snow
G                  E
Final destination, Blackfoot, Idaho
 
[Chorus]
         C          G             Dm
When cowboys didn't dance, didn't wear designer shirts
          F
And their hearts were filled with memories
      E
Their bodies filled with hurt
           C              G
They would sit around the campfire
      Dm
And exchange a piercing glance
 F                          E
Back when the west was wild, and cowboys didn't dance.
 
[Chorus]
         C          G             Dm
When cowboys didn't dance, didn't wear designer shirts
          F
And their hearts were filled with memories
      E
Their bodies filled with hurt
           C              G
They would sit around the campfire
      Dm
And exchange a piercing glance
 F                          E
Back when the west was wild, and cowboys didn't dance.

[Outro]
Am                                F
Seven hundred heads of cattle, an old forgotten trail
G                             NC                 Am
Five cowboys, and one old man and another day of hell
