_ It's a long dark dirty road, _
[F] _ but a [C] pocket full of gold.
And [E] I've been out here now, _
[Am] _ all on my own.
_ [G] _
[Am] _ Well it's really quiet here, _
[F] _ just the way [C] I like it here.
[E] There's no one to bother me except [Am] _ for [E] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ 1955. _ _
[F] _ _ Born [C] into a Dena's pride, _ [E] I laid my head on [Am] that _ Milligan Creek bed. _
[G] _ [Am] _ When I was a young man, _ [F] I helped [C] build this land.
Oh [E] I put down these rails as [Am] a _ CPR man. _
_ _ Thought I'd live forever, _
_ [F] _ with my heart in [C] my pocket.
Oh my [E] gun by my side, and [Am] my feelings in a locket. _
_ _ Well that was a cold year, _ [F] _ in [C] 77, _ when [E] I married my wife. _
_ [Am] We had two kids, _ _ _ gave her a daughter. _ _
[F] _ She gave [C] me a son, and we [E] rode those damn horses _ [Am] until _ we had none. _ _
_ Fist of life flying, _ _
[F] _ doing things [C] for dying.
Oh I [E] should have put that old gun [Am] away.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
But I, _ _ _ [G] I am a _ broken [Am] cowboy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] And I [C] don't feel right [E] no _ _ _ _ more.
[F] Cause I _ _ [G] am a broken [Am] cowboy.

[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Am] _ Living life in the fast lane, _ _ [F] _ racing cars [C] and crowded trains.
[E] I thought I had it all, but then one [Am] day I got the call. _
_ _ _ My father's birth dream, _ _ [F] _ my [C] son went down and [E] _ _ died. _
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ colors deceived me, [F] _ _ as I [C] see gray.
_ [E] _ Got me down with _ those, [Am] _ _ gorgeous eyes. _ _
_ Then he called me brother, _
[F] _ _ but this [C] can't be so.
Cause [E] you slammed and burned my name, _ [Am] and it will, it will go. _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
But _ I, _ _ _ [G] I am a _ broken [Am] cowboy. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] And I [C] don't feel right [E] no more.
_ _ _ Cause [F] I _ _ [G] am a broken [Am] cowboy. _ _ _ _ _
[F] Yes I, I [G] am a broken [Am] cowboy.

_ _ _ Well it's real quiet here, _ [F] _ just the [C] way I like it here.
[E] There's no one to bother me, except [Am] _ that old taunting tree.
