Chords for The Cowboy Rides Away / Casey Kelly

[Bb] _ _ Nah. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ [G] _
There you go.
_ _ _ [N] Jim, you're the best.
You really are the best.
Am I broken heart?
No.
No, you're the best.
No, no, we don't have to make you the best.
You're the best.
Y'all, thank you so much.
_ Thanks.
It was _ so much fun playing here [G] tonight.
And I mean, I can say it again.
You know, the technical crew is tremendous.
The venue couldn't be beat.
Our host and y'all are tremendous.
[A] And the food was amazing.
Oh, yeah, [C] yeah.
_ [Bm] Food was [A] amazing.
Except for that cake.
It [C] wasn't any [A] good.
Yeah.
You better let us take that home.
_ [Am] Yeah.
_ _ I [A] _
[Bb] _ _ _ had the thrill of being able to hear George Strait sing this song.
He named his farewell tours after it.
So for two years, _ _ _ _ it's been everywhere, all over the place.
So thank you so much, George.
_ _ _ At Bayou Fest in Baton Rouge, _ _ he did, I don't know,
it's about the fourth or fifth last concert he was going to do.
But I grew up in Baton Rouge.
I [A] grew up, _ I get in trouble every time I say this anywhere but Baton Rouge.
And we were in Alabama again.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I know.
But I just, when I was in high school, I was at the university high school,
LSU University High School.
So I had a student pass to all of the games at LSU Stadium.
So I was at every one of those games.
I saw Billy [Bm] Cannon run for 87 yards and defeat Ole Miss back in 58.
_ And there and _ _ all of that sort of thing.
But _ _ _ they _ _ _ _ had Bayou Fest there, which is a big celebration to have,
and he played there after Reba.
We saw Reba, and Reba has an opening act.
_ And _ _ _ there were 94,000 people _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ singing _ this song.
I almost missed the moment.
I was trying to get George on my iPhone, and it was like glaring,
and the lights were on, and I was [C] like, oh, God, [D] this is [Eb] the moment.
I was all [Bb] stressed out, and [F] I just sort of heard [G] someone behind me singing.
So I put my phone down, and _ I looked around, and like literally the entire stadium.
Everywhere you could see.
Literally the entire stadium was singing.
So I didn't miss the moment at all.
So feel free to sing along.
Feel free to sing along.
Feel free to sing along.
Yeah, right.
Please.
_ And thank you all so much.
We look forward to [F] the next [A] time.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ Thank you.
[C] _
I _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _
knew the stakes were high right from the [C] start.
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
[D] When she dealt the cards, I bet [G] my heart.
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Now I hold a hand that I [C] can't play.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
This is where the cowboy [G] rides away.
_ _ _ _ _ And my heart is sinking like the setting [C]
sun.
_ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [D] _
Setting on the things I wish [G] we'd done.
_ [D] _ [G] _ It's _ time to say goodbye to [C] yesterday.
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [D] _
This is where the cowboy _ [G] rides away.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [Gb] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ We've been in and out of love and in [C] between.
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
Now we play the final show [G] down the sea.
_ _ _ _ As the credits roll, the sad song starts [C] to play.
_ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [D] _
This is where the cowboy rides [G] away.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] And my heart is sinking like the setting [C]
sun.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
Setting on the things I wish [G] we'd done.
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ It's time to say goodbye to _ [C] yesterday.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
This is where the cowboy _ [G] rides away.
_ You know, Jim, _ _ the last goodbye is the hardest one to [C] _
say and sing.
_ _ [G] This _
[D] _ _ _ is where the [Dm] _ cowboy _ rides [Db] _
[D] away.
