The Greatest Cowboy of Them All by Johnny Cash
The Greatest Cowboy of Them All
Capo:no capo
C
I have always had my heroes
F C
I've loved a lot of legends
F G7
Many men in my mind are riding tall
F
But my cowboy hero hat's off
A# F
To the man who rode a donkey
C F C G7 C
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
He loves all His little doggies
F C
He speaks to them kind and gentle
F G7
And He'll lift up any maverick that falls
F
He sees every stray that's scatters
A# F
Like he's the only one that matters
C F C G7 C
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
F
Once He rode into the sunset
A# F
Of some returning sunrise
He'll call up all the riders in the sky
I'll get my roll together
A# F
Getting ready for that roundup
A# F C
That winds up where old cowboys never die
The trail He rides is narrow
F C
But it's straighter than an arrow
F G7
And He rides point for all the great and small
F
He will take us through the wire
A# F
On to that plane that's higher
C F C G7 C
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
F
Once He rode into the sunset
A# F
Of some returning sunrise
He'll call up all the riders in the sky
I'll get my roll together
A# F
Getting ready for that roundup
A# F C
That winds up where old cowboys never die
The trail He rides is narrow
F C
But it's straighter than an arrow
F G7
And He rides point for all the great and small

On to that plane that's higher
