Intro: Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
Amaj7 Dmaj7
In the corner of a dark barroom
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Singing songs that he learned as a child
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
All about the West back when it was wild
Amaj7 Dmaj7
He said he came from down Texas way
Amaj7 Dmaj7
The cowboys were tough the women the same way
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Said he was a star back in '31
Amaj7
When Hollywood liked him
Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
For some songs that he had done
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
He's the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
Bm Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
Amaj7 Dmaj7
He took a break just to chug him down some beer
Amaj7
C'mon folks now holler out
Dmaj7
The songs you'd like to hear
Amsj7 Dmaj7
And if I know one I know a million or two
Amaj7
I'm not just up here playing for me
Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
This is all done for you
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Said it was the finest made since the war
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
'Cause I'm the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
Bm Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
Break: Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And after three hours or maybe more
Amaj7 Dmaj7
A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door
Amaj7 Dmaj7
The bartender said he's blind you see
Amaj7
Don't tell him the only audience
Dmaj7 Amaj7
He had was you and me
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy
Bm Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay
Amaj7
Yippie-I-Ay
