Tuning:

This is pretty accurate. I've played along to it several times with these chords, and it sounds right. However, if anyone thinks there's something in here that's incorrect just leave a comment. I like to play it in drop D and do a full upward strum on the very first D of the progression. I think that's how they played it when recording. [Intro] D G A D x2 [Verse]

^DI'm out here ch^Gasin' these ^Arainbow^Ds that I need to find, ^DI go and Lord k^Gnows it ^Akills me ^Dto leav^Ge her ^Abehind, ^GShe drew a lo^Aw card when she gave me her heart, And s^Gometimes it's ^Dhard to believe, That ^Bmsweet little a^Angel went and got herself tangled G A D D (1 upward strum) In the arms of a cowboy like me

[Chorus]

Well I k^Cnow she deserves m^Gore than a dr^Difter that lives for the lights, ^CSmokey bars and gu^Gitars don't m^Dake for no fairy tale life, And e^Emvery time I head^D home I think I'll find her gone, But sh^Ge's still there a^Gnd still wants to be, In the ^Bmarms of^A a cowbo^Dy like^G me ^A

[Verse 2]

^DShe's worn a h^Gole in the c^Aarpet betwe^Den the bed and the phone, She w^Dorries about me when ^GI leave u^Antil I'm back ^Dhome, Cause the^Gre's down time fo^Ar killin' there's whiskey and there's women, That's ^Gjust right f^Dor feelin' a need, Oh but ^Bmshe's in no danger^A there's no room for a stranger, In the ^Garms ^Aof a cow^Dboy like me

[Chorus]

Well I ^Cknow she deserves ^Gmore than a d^Drifter that lives for the lights, ^CSmokey bars and gu^Gitars don't m^Dake for no fairy tale life, And e^Emvery time I head^D home I think I'll find her gone, But sh^Ge's still there a^Gnd still wants to be, In the ^Bmarms of^A a cowboy^G lik^De me ^G

[Instrumental] A G D G A [Chorus]

Yeah eve^Emry time I hea^Dd home I think I'll find her gone, But sh^Ge's still there a^Gnd still wants to be, In the a^Bmrms of a^A cowboy li^Gke me, The a^Bmrms of a ^Acowboy ^Dlike me ^G A ^ACowboy lik^De me ^G ^A ^D
