Cowboy Singer

INTRO: C  G  C

                      F            C
Seventeen years she's been in this world
                              G
Wide-eyed and wistful, pretty little Mormon girl
    C                              F              C
She don't know I'm wicked, and she don't know I'm old
                                G          C
Sweet Jesus forgive me, but she gets in my soul


      F                            G      C
She believes in the future and the family tree
        F                C               D            G
And she thinks there's a little spark of good left in me
        C                            F            C
And she comes to my door, 'cause she thinks I can bring her
                        G      C
The glamorous life of a cowboy singer


                          F           C
I rise from my bed to her hand at the bell
                              G
I look like the devil and I'm feeling like hell
        C                              F             C
But she don't seem to notice, she just steps right inside
                             G            C
For to sing me the song, she made up last night


        F                         G            C
And her voice is shining with the moon and the stars
        F          C               D          G
And she plays so unspoiled on that two-bit guitar
          C                         F           C
Singing, "Love" and "Tomorrow" and "Thank The Redeemer"
                             G      C            G  C
And I doom and anoint her a 'Cowboy Singer'


                          F          C
Alone in my room when she leaves me again
                             G
I stare at the wall and feel death closing in
      C                       F            C
But I like to imagine, I will meet her one day
                             G7           C
In a land at the end of this lonesome highway


     F                            G              C
In a fine high country, where the best songs are sung
        F            C              D             G
And the labels don't care if you're old or you're young
        C                            F            C
And the Martins are cheaper, and the pastures are greener
                          G      C
And all of the angels are cowboy singers
                         G           C
Oh, and all of the angels are cowboy singers
