A  E  F#m  D

[Verse 1]
    A
Her hands wrapped up in mine
 E
Tears rollin' out of her eyes
   F#m
No messin' with a made-up mind
    D
Sun settin' on goodbye
           A          E
Yeah, it's hard to believe
          F#m                  D      A/D
It wasn't me tryin' to leave this time

[Chorus]
                    A
It ain't always the cowboy
                        E
That ain't got a lot of hang around
             F#m
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
  D
Gone's just what they do
     A
That restless running
E
Searching for something
F#m                                     D
 Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
         A          E              D
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

[Verse 2]
                A
I've never seen over from this side
            E
Never heard lonely get this quiet
       F#m
Still, I can't keep from smiling
       D
'Cause damn, that girl can fly

[Chorus]
                    A
It ain't always the cowboy
                        E
That ain't got a lot of hang around
             F#m
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
  D
Gone's just what they do
     A
That restless running
E
Searching for something
F#m                                     D
 Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
         A          E              F#m
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

[Instrumental]
D  A  E

[Bridge]
             F#m                E
A tumbleweed heart chasin' that wind
       D
Goin' too far, wherever that is

[Chorus]
                    A
It ain't always the cowboy
                         E
That ain't got a lot of hang around
             F#m
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
  D
Gone's just what they do
     A
That restless running
E
Searching for something
F#m                                     D
 Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
         A          E               D      A/D
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
       A     E
Rides away
                    F#m     D
It ain't always the cowboy
