This Cowboy Song Chords

(ver. 1)
Sting
[Intro]
G5/F    G5/D    G5/C     G5/F
G5/F    G5/D    G5/C     G5/F
 
[Verse 1]
G5/F                        G5/D
We rode all night across an endless desert
G5/C                        G5/F
We had no moon to light our way
                                G5/D
And though a million stars were slowly turning
G5/C                         G5/F
We lacked the consciences to pray
                          G5/D
Our horses running like a devil chase us
G5/C                                G5/F
Their feet, they hardly touched the ground
                         G5/D
Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolf howling
               G5/C                    G5/F
But I'm certain     I never heard that sound
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G5/F         Eb
Devil to pay     on judgement day
                     C5
Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?
 
[Chorus]
C5                       B5
This cowboy song is all I    know
           C5                     D5
To bring me   back into your arms
            G5             B5
Your distant sun, your shining light
            C5          D5
You'll be my   dog-star shinin' tonight
 
[Guitar Solo]
G5/F     G5/D    G5/C    G5/F
G5/F     G5/D    G5/C    G5/F
 
[Verse 2]
G5/F                        G5/D
I've been the lowest of the low on the planet
G5/C                      G5/F
I've been a sinner all my days
                          G5/D
When I was living with my hand on the trigger
G5/C                        G5/F
I had no sense to change my ways
                            G5/D
The preacher asked if I'd embraced the resurrection
G5/C                       G5/F
To suck the poison from my life
                         G5/D
Just like an existential cowboy villain
    G5/C                      G5/F
His words were balanced on my knife
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G5/F         Eb
Devil to pay     on judgement day
                     C5
Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?
 
[Chorus]
C5                       B5
This cowboy song is all I    know
           C5                     D5
To bring me   back into your arms
            G5             B5
Your distant sun, your shining light
            C5          D5
You'll be my   dog-star shinin' tonight
 
[Bridge]
Eb
In the night, in the night
Cm7                 C5      Dsus4
All my distances are   far
 
[Chorus]
C5                       B5
This cowboy song is all I    know
           C5                     D5
To bring me   back into your arms
            G5             B5
Your distant sun, your shining light
            C5          D5
You'll be my   dog-star shinin' tonight
 
[Organ Solo]
G5/F     G5/D    G5/C         G5/F
                    Dark star
[Piano Solo]
G5/F     G5/D    G5/C        G5/F
Dark star          Dark star
G5/F     G5/D    G5/C     G5/F
G5/F     G5/D    G5/C     G5/F
 
[Outro]
G
