[Intro]
C C/G C C/G
[Verse]
C C/G C C/G
An ageing desperado in the hills of Colorado
C C/G G G7
Lies beneath a canopy of stars
G7
His best years behind him, and each star reminds him
C
Of days that lay sealed in his heart
[Verse]
C C/G C C/G
He's been a loner and a drifter, a gambler and a grifter
C C/G G G7
He can play the fiddle, boys like you can't believe
G7
Tonight he's lying in the valley, campfire slowly dying
C C7
As the embers fade he drifts off to sleep
[Chorus]
F G C Em/B Am
And he dreams of dancehall dames and wide open plains
F G C C7
And skies that are bluer than blue
F G C Em/B Am
Oh, but my how things have changed, yeah all that remains
F G C C/G C C/G
Is a cowboy and a big lonesome moon
[Verse]
C C/G C C/G
Well he once had a lover, golden haired and stubborn
C C/G G G7
A tender-hearted daughter of the south
G7
She tried her best to love him but those wild winds kept calling
C C7
You see, men like him, they weren't made to settle down
[Chorus]
F G C Em/B Am
They need their dancehall dames, their wide open plains
F G C C7
Their skies that are bluer than blue
F G C Em/B Am
Oh, but my how things have changed, yeah all that remains
F G C C/G C C/G
Is a cowboy and a big lonesome moon
[Solo]

[Verse]
C C/G C C/G
Just before the sunride, in the waning hours of twilight
C C/G G G7
The cowboy stirs and he wakes from his sleep
G7
And though the world has passed by him, Deep down inside him
C C7
Lay the memories of a longlife spent free
[Chorus]
F G C Em/B Am
He has his dancehall dames, his wide open plains
F G C C7
His skies that are bluer than blue
F G C Em/B Am
Oh, and though things may have changed, the truest ones remain
F G C Em/B Am
Like the cowboy and his big lonesome moon
F G C
Like the cowboy and his big lonesome moon
