[Bb] [Fm] I told you [Bb] about living [Fm] in the US [Bb] of A, and [F] you [Bb] know that I'm against [Fm] the rule of love.
[Bb]
[Fm] Let me [Gm] tell you people [F] that [Ab] I found [Bb] a new way, [F] and I'm tired of all [Gm] this talk [F] about [Bb] love.
[F] In the same [Bb] old [F] story with a new [Bb] set of words [F] about the good and the [Bb] bad and the [Fm] poor.
[A] [Bb] [Fm] And the times keep on [Bb] changing [F] so I'm keeping on [Bb] top [Fm] of every fat [Bb] cat who [F] walks in my [Bb] door.
[F] I'm a [Ab] space cowboy, [Bb] bet you weren't ready [Db] for that.
[Fm] I'm a [Ab] space cowboy, [Bb] I'm sure you know [Db] where it's at.

[Bb] [F] [Bb] was [F] born on this [Bb] rock [F] and I've been [Ab] traveling through [Bb] space since the moment I first [Fm]
realized.
[Bb] [F] But all your class [Bb] talking cats [Fm] would do [Bb] if you could.
[F] You know I'm ready [Bb] for the final [F] surprise.
[Bb]
There ain't no way around [Fm] it, ain't nothing [Bb] to say that's [F] gonna satisfy my [Bb] soul deep [Fm] inside.
[Bb] All [F] the prayers and [Bb] [F] surveys keep the whole place [Bb] uptight, but [F] it keeps on getting darker [Ab] inside.
[Bb] [F] I'm a [Ab] space cowboy, [Bb]

[Fm] All you black [Bb] girls, [F] schemers, power [Bb] trip [F] dreamers better find [Bb] something new [Fm] to say.
[Bb] Cause [F] you're the [A] same [Bb] old story, it's [F] the same [Bb] old [F] rhyme and you've got some heavy dues to [A] [Bb] pay.
I'm [F] a [Ab] space cowboy, [Bb]
