_ _ _ _ I met a cosmic cowboy riding at starry range.
He's a supernatural cowboy and [Am] he's dressed up kind of strange.
At [G] first, I didn't see him [Am] being out there on the run.
Yeah, but [G] that old hat that he's wearing is [A] shining brighter than the sun.
[D] And when my eyes adjusted to the flashing of a smile,
[G] I saw his invitation.
[Em] I said, come [B] on Barry, we'll go riding for [D] a while.
Now, all in all, shooting rain goes through the night.
We rode along together for [A] more than half a day.
[D] Riding through the changing weather, [A] the sky was all turning gray.
[G] Chilly winds were blowing, [Am] the cold was cutting deep.
[G] Yeah, then it started [A] snowing.
The trail was getting steep, [D] the ice was just about to turn around and head back the way we [G] came.
_ Somehow, without a sound, [F#] I heard him call my [D] name. _ _ _
[B] Shooting rain goes [D] through the night.
And looking up, I saw that we was high up on this ridge.
And he took me by my arm [C] and led me right over [Em] to the edge.
[G] Hey, I was so scared I couldn't find [Am] a single word to say.
In [G] order, ten thousand feet of empty [A] air and it's just about an inch away.
[D] But a million miles was out beyond the waving of his hand.
[G] I was looking through his eyes, [Em] _ [C#] right into another [D] man.
Now, _ _ shooting rain goes through the night.
_ _ He said, this is my father's ranch, as far as you can see. _
He made it out of nothing, every branch, every tree.
[F#] The stars, all the mountains, rivers, streams.
[B] _ The [A] oceans, the mountains, the [B] valley of your dreams.
_ [D] I know that place you're looking [B] for, that place you long to be.
[D] The truth is, I'm the only door you're gonna have to pass through me.
Now, [B] _ _
shooting rain goes [D] _ through the night.
Bending back, I tip my hat to look him in the eye.
But he just smiled and gave me [G] confidence.
Go ahead and try.
_ It was now or never and [Am] I knew I had to start.
[G] So I took that step and I went [A] falling straight in through his heart.
[D] The first thing that I noticed, coming out the other side.
[G] Hey, all my fears are [G] banished.
He taught me how to [D] fly. _ _
Now, shooting rain goes through the night.
Oh yeah, there's a cosmic cowboy and he rides the starry [C#] range.
[D] He's a supernatural flower [G] boy.
He is dressed up kind of strange.
You'd think I nearly missed him.
[Am] He announced we're on the run.
[G] But that old hat that he's wearing, [A] it's shining bright as the sun.
[D] And when my eyes adjusted to the passion [Bm] of his smile, [G] I saw his invocation.
Say, come on, [D] Barry.
We'll go riding for a while. _
Shooting rain goes through the night.
Ha ha [D] ha ha.
All right.
_ _ _ _ _ Cowboy of the [B] night.
Shooting rain goes through the night. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Yeah, boy. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
