[D] [E]
[Ab] [Em] [A]
[Am]
It's been a long dark dirty road, [G] [F]
but a pocket [C] full of gold.
[E] And I've been out here now, [Am]
all on my own.
[Em] [Am]
It's real quiet here, [G] [F]
just the way [C] I like it here.
[E]
There's no one to bother me [Am] except the [E] [Am]
1955.
[G] [F]
Born [C] into Adina's pride, [E]
I laid my head on [Am] that Milligan Creek bed.
When I was a young man, [G] [F]
I helped build [C] this land.
Oh, [E] I put down these rails as [Am]
a CPR man.
[Em] [Am]
Thought I'd live forever [G] [F]
with my heart [C] in my pocket.
Oh, [E] my gun by my side and [Am] my feelings in a locket.
Well, that was a cold year [Em] [F]
in [C] 77, [E] but I married my wife.
[Am]
We had two kids.
[Em] [Am]
I gave her a daughter.
[Em] [F]
She gave [C] me a son, though [E] we rode those damn horses [Am] until we had none.
Fist still I fly in, [Em] [F]
doing things [C] for dying.
Oh, [E] I should have put that old gun [Am]
away.
[E] [Am] [F]
But I, [G] I am a broken [Am]
cowboy.
[F] And I [C] don't feel right [E] no more.
[F] Because I [G] am a broken [Am]
cowboy.

life in the fast lane, [Bm] [F]
racing cars [C] and robbing trains.

Then [Am] one day, I got the call.
[Em] [Am]
Father's worst dream.
[Em] [F]
My [C] son went down and [E]
I.
[Am]
Colors deceive me.
[F]
Because I [C] see gray, oh [E] yeah.
Got me down with those [Am]
cold words you're saying.
Then you call me brother.
[G] [F]
This [C] can't be so, because [E] you slammed my name.
[Am] Anywhere the wind will blow.
[Bm] [F]
[E] [Am]
[E] But [Am] [F]
I, [G] I am a broken [Am] cowboy.
