{Intro: (Pick each note of chord once and let ring)} G
C Cadd9
I leave these city lights
G G7
Ev'ry Friday and Saturday night
C Cadd9
Back to this hole-in-the-wall
G G7
I still get that back home call
C Cadd9
I left my ranch and now it's gone
G G7
I don't fit in but still I'm holdin' on
C Cadd9
When I sit at the bar it suites me
G D7
Where's the cowboy I used to be
{Chorus:}
G D7
I ain't an Urban cowboy that don't understand
Am C
What it's like to live and work the land
C Em
So I sit here drinkin' and feelin' coy
Am D7 G G
Hey Hey look at me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
{Bridge:}
G C
When you don't rope and you don't rustle and don't work the land
D7 G
When you're all tied up in suites 'cause you're a business man
E G
Drinkin on the weekend at some honky-tonk that brings you joy
E G
Fetch another round lay that bottle down on the counter boy
Am D
I'm a whiskey drinkin' self defeatin' boot wearin' corporate toy
Am D7 G G
Hey, Hey look at me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
C Cadd9
I leave the honky-tonk after the fights
G G7
On my way back home I just sigh
C Cadd9
I look in the mirror to see
G G7
The cowboy I used to be
C Cadd9
Contrary to that poem
G G7
Sometimes you just can't go home
C Cadd9
At least not to a place
G D7
That progress has stripped away
{CHORUS}
{CHORUS}
A D7 G G
Hey, Hey look at me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
A D7 G G
Have a drink with Me {tacet} I'm a Bourbon Cowboy
