THIS COWBOY SONG
As recorded by Sting
(From the 1994 Album FIELDS OF GOLD: THE BEST OF STING 1984-1994)
[Intro]
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
[Verse 1]
G5/FWe rode all night across an G5/Dendless desert
G5/CWe had no moon to light our G5/Fway
And though a million stars were G5/Dslowly turning
G5/CWe lacked the consciences to G5/Fpray
Our horses running like a G5/Ddevil chase us
G5/CTheir feet, they hardly touched the G5/Fground
Yes, I'm familiar with a G5/Dgrey wolf howling
But I'm certainG5/C I never heard that G5/Fsound
[Pre-Chorus]
G5/FDevil to pay Eb on judgement day
Would Jesus strike meC5 down if I should pray?
[Chorus]
C5This cowboy song is all IB5 know
To bring meC5 back into your arms D5
Your distantG5 sun, your shinB5ing light
You'll be myC5 dog-star D5shinin' tonight
[Guitar Solo]
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
G5/F G5/D G5/C G5/F
[Verse 2]
G5/FI've been the lowest of the G5/Dlow on the planet
G5/CI've been a sinner all my G5/Fdays
When I was living with my G5/Dhand on the trigger
G5/CI had no sense to change my G5/Fways
The preacher asked if I'd emG5/Dbraced the resurrection
G5/CTo suck the poison from my G5/Flife
Just like an existential G5/Dcowboy villain
His G5/Cwords were balanced on my G5/Fknife
[Pre-Chorus]
G5/FDevil to pay Eb on judgement day
Would Jesus strike meC5 down if I should pray?
[Chorus]
C5This cowboy song is all IB5 know
To bring meC5 back into your arms D5
Your distantG5 sun, your shinB5ing light
You'll be myC5 dog-star D5shinin' tonight
[Bridge]
EbIn the night, in the night
Cm7All my distances areC5 far Dsus4
[Chorus]
C5This cowboy song is all IB5 know
To bring meC5 back into your arms D5
Your distantG5 sun, your shinB5ing light
You'll be myC5 dog-star D5shinin' tonight
