 PLAY THIS TUNE WITH A SINGLE STRUM AT EACH INDICATED CHORD EXCEPT WHERE
 NOTED.
 
 When the [Am]rodeo was [C]over, we’d [F]all go to the [C]room.
 We’d [Am]drink some beer re[C]lax awhile and [F]sing some cowboy [G]tunes.
 That [Am]old guitar we [C]passed around, it was [F]battered, scratched, and
 [C]broke.
 But [F]Lord it sounded [C]mighty [Am]fine, when [F/Begin free strum]John Ed
 sang
        "Cow[Am]poke".
 
 [Coo or Croon while playing in free strum] C    F Am x 2
 
 [Am]Ben he’d think of [C]some old tune, and he’d [F]really wail a[C]way.
 [Am]Dunder’d play the [C]spoons and sing un[F]til the break of [G]day.
 [Am]Clyde he’d tell a [C]poem or two and old [F]Rich he’d crack a [C]joke.
 But [F]damn it nearly [C]make you [Am]cry when [F/Begin free strum]John Ed
 sang
        "Cow[Am]poke".
 
 [Coo or Croon while playing in free strum] C    F Am x 2
 
 [Am]Someday this road I [C]travel, Lord [F]I will leave be[C]hind.
 But [Am]memories of the [C]things I’ve seen will [F]never leave my [G]mind.
 On a [Am]quiet summer’s [C]evenin’ when the [F]sun is sinking [C]low,
 I’ll [F]think again of [C]days gone [Am]by when [F/Begin free strum]John Ed
 sang
       "Cow[Am]poke".
