Broken Cowboy
The Dead South
Key : Am
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
Am | E7 | Am | E7 
Am

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am
  It's been a long dark dirty road
F                       C
 But pocket full of gold
        E             E7
And I've been out here  now
Am
  All on my own
Well it's real quiet here
F                   C
 Just the way I like it here
        E
There's no one to bother me
Except...
Am | E | Am 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Am                       F            C
  In nineteen fifty five, born into Wadena's pride
E              E7
 I laid my head  on that
Am
  Milligan creek bed
When I was a young man
F                         C
 I helped build these land
    E                         Am   E   Am
Oh I put down these rails as a  CPR man

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Am
  Thought I'd live forever
F                      C
 With my heart in my pocket
          E          E7
Oh, my gun by my side
           Am
And my feelings in a locket
                          F             C
Well, that was a cold year in seventy seven
     E
But I married my wife
Am
  We had two kids

[Verse 4]
---------------------
Am
  I gave her a daughter
F                 C
 She gave me a son
           E              E7       Am
And we rode those damn horses until  we had none
Fists still like flyin'
F                   C
 Doing things for dyin'
     E                             Am E
Oh I should have put that old gun away

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Am    F    G                     Am
  But I, I am me, a broken cowboy
    F       C             E
And I don't feel right no more
        F G              Am
'Cause I  am a broken cowboy

[Banjo Solo]

Am | F | C | E

[Interlude]

Am | F | C | E 
Am

[Verse 5]
---------------------
Am
  Livin' life in the fast lane
F                   C
 Racing cars and robbing trains
  E                   E7
I thought I had it all
            Am
Then one day  I got the call
A father's worst dream
F                C    E E7
 My son went down and I

[Verse 6]
---------------------
Am
  The colours deceive me
F             C
 As I see grey
         E                          E7
Oh you're cutting me down with those
Am
  Cold words you're saying
Then you called me brother
F                  C                 E          E7
 But this can't be so 'cause you slander my name
        Am                   F E  Am E
Anywhere  the wind will blow,  ohh

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Am    F    G                     Am
  But I, I am me, a broken cowboy
    F       C             E
And I don't feel right no more
        F G              Am
'Cause I  am a broken cowboy
      F  G            Am E Am
Yes, I am a broken cowboy



[Outro]
---------------------
Am
  It's been a long dark dirty road
F                       C
 But pocket full of gold
        E             E7
And I've been out here  now
Am
  All on my own
Well it's real quiet here
F                   C
 Just the way I like it here
        E
There's no one to bother me
      Am
Except  that old taunting tree
