Verse
F# D#m B C# F#
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be,
G# B F# C#
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me.
F# D#m B C# F#
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free,
D#m G#
But strong men often fail
D#m G#
Where shrewd men can prevail,
B G#m C#
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say,
B G#m C# F#
But oh god how I worked my youth away.
[Verse 2]
D#m B C# F#
Well you may not recognize my face, I used to be a star,
G# B F# C#
G# cowboy hero known both near and far.
F# D#m B C# F#
I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar,
D#m G# D#m G#
But the studio of course, owned my saddle and my horse,
B G#m C#
But that six-gun on the wall belongs to me,
B G#m C# F#
Oh god I can't live a memory.
[Verse 3]
F# D#m B C# F#
You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again,
G# B F# C#
And point that gun at all the prideful men.
F# D#m B C# F#
All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen,
D#m G#
And put you where they choose,
D#m G#
With the language that they use,
B G#m C#
And enslave you till you work your youth away,
B G#m B C#
Oh god how I worked my youth away.
[Bridge]
F# D#m F# C#
Whoopee ty yioh whoopee ty yi ay,
F# D#m G# C#
One man's work is another man's play
B G#m C# F#
Oh god how I worked my youth away.
[Verse 4]
F# D#m B C# F#
You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime,
G# B F# C#
This photograph was taken in my prime,
F# D#m B C# F#
I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time,
D#m G#
But the singin' was a ball
D#m G#
Cause I’m not musical at all,
B G#m C#
I moved my lips to someone else's voice.
[Interlude]
F# D#m B C# F# G# B F# C#
[verse 1 repeat]
F# D#m B C# F#
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be,
G# B F# C#
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me.
F# D#m B C# F#
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free,
D#m G#
But strong men often fail
D#m G#
Where shrewd men can prevail,
B G#m C#
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say,
B G#m C# F#
But oh god how I worked my youth away.
