Well I just came in this back [Em] for a beer I [A] didn't know that country man was a [D] white
man Cause I'm in love with the steel, [Em] there's
why And [A] I know it's not right, [Em] [A] and I won't hurt
her name And that's how it is in cowboy [D] pain ways
Well I met her in Salt Creek [Em] just by chance [A] She asked me if I [D] wanted a dance
She said I love your records and turned [Em] me on
I love [A] the steel playing band And he's part of the band
And we mess around in the cowboy [D] pain ways But [G] it seems [A] like a block out [G] of a [D] movie
[G] Maybe the pages of [D] a Hollywood [A] magazine Well [D] they say the way we live might not [Em] be
right But [A] you know I think my dear [D] we're never down
Yes it has its ups and downs [Em] in our town now
When [A] you stare it in the face and you're part of the race
Cause every blues in cowboy [D] pain ways
