D A E A
[Chorus]
A G
I'm just lonesome L.A. cowboy
D E
Hanging out, and hanging on
A G
To your window ledge, callin' your name
D E
From midnight until dawn
D E
I been smoking dope, snorting coke
A D
Trying to write a song
A
Forgettin' everything I know
E A
Till the next line comes along
D A
Forgetting everything I know
E A
Till the next line comes along
[Verse 1]
A E
So many pretty people in this city, and I swear
D A
Some of them are girls
E
I meet 'em down at Barney's Beanery
D E
In their platform heels and spit curls
D E
I buy 'em drinks, we smoke our hopes
A D
And try to make it one more night
A
When I'm left alone at last
E A
I feel like I'll die of fright
[Chorus]
A G
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
D E
Hanging out, and hanging on
A G
To your window ledge, callin' your name
D E
From midnight until dawn
D E
I been smoking dope, snorting coke
A D
Trying to write a song
A
Forgettin' everything I know
E A
Till the next line comes along
D A
Forgetting everything I know
E A
Till the next line comes along
[Solo]
A E D A E D E D E A D A E A
[Verse 2]
A E
I know Kris and Rita and Marty Mull,
D A
are meeting at the Troubadour
E
We'll get it on with the "Joy Of Cooking"
D E
While the crowd calls out for more
D E
around six o'clock this morning
A D
I'll be gettin' kind of slow
A
When all the shows are over,
E A
Where do you think I go?
[Chorus]
A G
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
D E
Hanging out, and hanging on
A G
To your window ledge, callin' your name
D E
From midnight until dawn
D E
I've been smoking dope, snorting coke
A D
trying to write a song
D A
forgettin' everything I know
E A
till the next line comes along
D A
Forgetting everything I know
E A
Till the next line comes along
