_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's been a long dark dirty road, [G] _ [F] _
a block [C] full of gold, _ [E] and I've been out here now,
_ [Am] _
all on my own.
_ [Em] _ [Am] _
_ It's real quiet here, [Em] _ [F] _
just the way [C] I like it here.
[E] There's no one to bother me [Am] except for _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ 1955.
_ [G] _ [F] _
_ Born into [C] a deaner's pride, [E] _
I laid my head on [Am] that _ Milligan Creek bed. _ _ _
When I was a young man, [G] _ [F]
I helped build [C] this land.
Oh, [E] I put down these rails as [Am]
a CPR man.
_ [Em] _ [Am] _
Thought I'd live forever [G] _ [F] _
with my heart in [C] my pocket,
hold [E] my gun by my side, and [Am] my feelings in a locket. _ _ _
Well, that was a cold year [Em] _ [F] _
in [C] 77, _ but [E] I married my wife.
_ _ [Am] _
We had two kids.
_ [Em] _ [Am] _
I gave her a daughter.
_ [Em] _ [F] _
She gave [C] me a son.
No, [E] we rode those damn horses _ _ [Am]
until we had none. _ _ _
Fist still like flying, _ [Em] _ [F] _
doing things [C] for dying.
Oh, [E] I should have put that old gun [Am]
away.
_ [E] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F]
But I, _ _ _ [G] I am a _ broken _ [Am]
cowboy, _ _ _ _ _ [F] and I [C] don't feel right [E] no more.
_ _ _ _ [F] Yes, I _ _ [G] am a broken [Am] _
cowboy.
[E] _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Abm] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [E] Living _ _ _ [Am] _
_ life _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ in the fast lane, [Bm] _ [F] _
racing cars [C] and robbing trains.
_ [E]
Thought I had it all, and then one [Am] day I got the call.
_ _ [Em] _ [Am] _
_ _ Father's worst dream, [Em] _ [F]
my [C] son went down, and [E] _
_ I. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ Colors deceive me, _ [F] _
because I [C] see gray, oh [E] yeah.
Got me down with those _ [Am] _
cold words you're saying. _ _
Then you call me brother, _ [Em] _ [F] _
_ this [C] can't be [Em] so,
because you [E] _
slander my name _ [Am] anywhere the wind will _ blow.
[F] Oh, _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [E] but [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _
I, _ _ _ _ [G] I am a _ _ broken [Am] cowboy, _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] and I [C] don't feel right [E] no _ more.
_ _ _ [F] Yes, I _ _ [G] am a broken [Am]
cowboy.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] [F] Yes, I _ _ [G] am a broken [Am] _
cowboy.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [F] _
_ It's [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
a long dark dirty road, [G] _ [F] _
a pocket full [C] of gold.
And [E]
I've been out here now, _ [Am] _
all on my own.
_ _ [G] _ [Am] _
Well, it's real quiet here, [Em] _ [F] _
just the way [C] I like it here.
[Em] There's [E] no one to bother me, except [Am] _ that old taunting tree. _
