D  A/C#  B  A  G  A7sus4  A7  D
 
[Verse 1]
D              A/C#
Last night you told her
B               A
You could never hold her  cause a...
G             D/F#         A  A/B  A
Cowboy's just got to be free
D               A/C#
Her heart was breakin'
B         A
Yours was achin'  but you...
G             A            D
Saddled up to follow your dreams
 
[Verse 2]
D               A/C#
Coffee on your campfire
B                A
Wind through the barb-wire
G          D/F#          A      A/B  A
You huddle close to the flames
D                  A/C#
Though she's far behind you
B                A
The night wind reminds you  it just...
G        A               D     G
Keeps on whisperin' her name
 
[Chorus]
A              G              D     G
You can make a run for the border
A                  G           D      D  A/C#  B
Try to hide at The Hole In The Wall
                                  A/C#
But don't you know your arms are... achin' to hold her
    G           D/F#                 A
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall
       A7sus4  A7    (2nd half of intro)
You're ridin'  for a fall
 
[Verse 3]
D            A/C#
Midnight the moon's up
B                 A
Hands around your tin cup
G                 D/F#      A     A/B  A
The frost settles in on the sage
D                   A/C#
The night's gettin' colder
B                          A
Well man you're gettin older
G              A            D
Tonight you're fellin' your age
 
[Verse 4]
D             A/C#
Why don't you turn back  just...
B             A
Saddle up and backtrack
             G            D/F#            A    A/B  A
You know you never find a love quite like hers...     And tell me
     D             A/C#
On a cold lonesome evening
         B                A
What the hell good's your freedom
          G                   A            D
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs
 
[Chorus]
A              G              D     G
You can make a run for the border
A                  G           D      D  A/C#  B
Try to hide at The Hole In The Wall
                                  A/C#
But don't you know your arms are... achin' to hold her
    G           D/F#                 A
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall
       A7sus4  A7    (2nd half of intro)
You're ridin'  for a fall
 
[Outro]
G             A7sus4  A7    (2nd half of intro)
Cowboy you're ridin'  for a fall
