[D] I met a cosmic cowboy riding a starry range.
He's a supernatural cowboy, [Am] dressed up kind of strange.
[G] At first, I didn't see him being [Am] out there on the run.
Yeah, but that old hat that he's wearing [A] is shining brighter than the sun.
[D] And when my eyes adjusted to the [A] flashing of a smile,
[G] I saw his invitation.
I said, [D] come on, Barry.
We'll go riding for a while.
Now, shooting paintballs through the sky.
We rode along together [A] for more than half a day,
[D] riding through the changing weather.
[A] The sky was all turning gray.
[G] The chilly winds were blowing.
The [Am] cold was cutting deep.
[G] Yeah, then it started snowing.
[A] The trail was getting steep.
[D] I was just about to turn around and head back the way [Em] we came.
[G] Somehow, without a sound, I heard him [D] call my name.
I'm a cowboy, a cowboy, shooting paintballs through the sky.
And looking up, I saw that we was tied upon [E] this bridge.
[D] He took me by my arm, [Em] led me right over to the edge.
[G] Yeah, I was so scared I couldn't find a [Am] single word to say.
You know, there's [G] 10,000 feet of empty air and [A] just about an inch away.
But [D] a million miles was out beyond the waving of his [A] hand.
[G] I was looking through his eyes, [Em] right into [C#] another [D] man.
Cowboy, cowboy, shooting paintballs through the night.
He [B] said, this is my father's ranch, [D] as far as you can see.
He made it out of nothing, every branch, every tree.
[F#]
The stars, all the mountains, rivers, [B]
streams, the oceans, the fountains, the valley of the dreams.
I know that place you're looking for, that place you long to be.
Truth is, I'm the only door you're going to have to pass through me.
Cowboy, cowboy, shooting paintballs through the night.
Bending back, I tip my hat to look him in the eye.
But he just smiled, gave me confidence.
[G] Go ahead and try.
But it was now or never, and [Am] I knew I had to [D] start.
[G] So I took that step, and then I went falling [A] straight in [C#m] through his heart.
[D] First thing that I noticed, [C] coming out the other side, [G] all my fears vanished.
[B] He taught me [D] how to fly.
Cowboy, cowboy, shooting paintballs through the night.
Oh yeah, there's a cosmic cowboy, and he rides a starry range.
