Cowboy Song by Joe Purdy
Cowboy Song
Capo:3rd fret
its just c f and g the whole song listen to it to get the timing
intro c hammer middle finger
C
Pick me up softly, I don't know the shape that I'm in
F
I dropped through the windows and down through the buildings
G
And up to the front door again
C
There was a gunfight out in the moonlight
To settle the matters at hand
F
So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly
G C
I don't know the shape that I'm in
Chorus:
C
And I did my best with my time in the West
F
And I tried not to leave anyone in distress
G C
And I have stood tall yeah and I never lied
F
That's a lie
G
But I surely tried
C F G
To do everything I could do right
C
Pick me up softly, I don't know how much I've been hurt
F
One bullet missed me, the other one kissed me
G
And left me to die in the dirt
C
They killed every last man and shot down my Suzanne
F
It's over whatever it's worth
G
So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly
C F G
I don't know how much I've been hurt
Repeat chorus
C
Pick me up softly, I don't know long I have left
F
Oh I am not hurtin', but death is a-certain
G
There's a bullet that lays in my chest
C
I'm flooded with memories and people and sweet dreams
F
And words to my favourite songs
And I'll buy the last round if you lay my head down
G
And sing one for me when I'm gone
Repeat chorus
