_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
Friend, I'm writing [D] you this letter I think it's darn sure [A] _ overdue
You thinkin' mind your own damn [E] business I won't blame you [A] if you do
_ You know our range is [Bm] getting smaller _ [D] I hear you're all broke up [A] inside
But _ ain't the Bronx that's [E] gonna kill you [Eb] _ _
[E] It's your own [A] fool cowboy pride _ _
I hear you'd left the [D] _ Chimaneas You know that makes me [A] kind of sad
She's a great old [E] Spanish land grant You're about the best she ever [A] _ had _
The Cowbossin' [D] Corporation _ Seemed to [A] naturally collide _ _
And you came [E] off the loser _ With your damn old [A] cowboy pride _ _
Cowboy pride will [Em] always [Bm] get a man through [E]
But sometimes the [A] flakes are full of you _ _
Good women [Bm] are hard to find [E] _
_ Talkin' [A] bout the faithful kind _
Now you're runnin' [D] with that waitress _ And she's [A] underage and wild _ _
Well, your wife's the [E] best there is, son _ Would you leave her [A] for that child? _ _
She's stuck with you [D] through the hard times Think of all [B] those nights [A] she's cried _
She'd become [E] another victim _ Of your damned [A] old cowboy pride
_ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Well, I guess I've [Eb] said my piece, friend _ _ Just something I [Bb] had to do _
You see, I made the same [F] mistakes as Julie _ _ Before she fell in [Bb] love with you _
Head on home, it [Eb] ain't too late, son _ Time to put the [Bb] past aside _
So you don't end up [Fm] like me now [F] _ _
Ridin' on old [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
