[A] [Bm] [E]
[A]
[D] I think it's darn sure [A] overdue.
You think and mind your own damn [E] business.
I won't blame [A] you if you do.
You know our range is getting [D] smaller.
I hear you're all broke up [A] inside.
But ain't the Bronx [E] that's gonna kill you.
[E]
It's your own [A] fool's hard-boiled pride.
I hear you'd left [D] the 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 [A] ever had.
The Cowboson [D] Corporation seemed to naturally [A] collide.
And you came [E] off the loser with your damn [A] old cowboy pride.
Cowboy pride will [E] always [Bm] get a man through.
[E]
But sometimes the [A] flakes are full of you.
Good women [Bm] are hard to find.
[E]
Talking [A] about the faithful kind.
Now you're running [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 through [D] the hard times.
Think of all those [A] nights she's cried.
She become [E] another victim of your damned old [A] cowboy pride.
[F]
[Bb] Well, I guess I've said [Eb] my piece, friend.
Just something I [Bb] had to do.
You see, I made the same mistakes [F] with Julie.
Before she fell [Bb] in love with you.
[Eb] [Bb] Head on home, it ain't [Eb] too late, son.
Time to put the [Bb] past aside.
So you don't end up [Fm] like me now.
[F] Riding on [Bb] old cowboy pride.
Cowboy pride [Cm] will always get a man through.
[F] But sometimes the flakes [Bb] are full of you.
Good women are [Cm] hard to find.
[F]
Talking [Bb] about the faithful kind.
Good women are [Cm] hard to find.
[F]
Talking [Bb] about the faithful kind.
