_ _ _ [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.
He's a supernatural cowboy, [Em] he is dressed up kind of strange.
[G] _ I nearly missed [Am] him, and out here on the run, [G] that old hat that he's wearing, it's [A] shining bright as the sun.
[D] He's been my special, [Am] he's a special young man.
[G] I saw his invitation, [B] and I said, come on Barry, [F#m] [D] we'll go riding for a while.
