[Verse 1]
     F7             Bb            F7       Bb
I've told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A
              F7           Bb             F7  Bb
Don't you know that I'm a gangster of love
   F7           Bb            F7             Bb
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
             F7           Bb         F7   Bb
And I'm tired of all this talk about love
           F7      Bb         F7              Bb
And the same old story with a new set of words
          F7              Bb            F7  Bb
About the good and the bad  and the poor
             F7            Bb
And the times keep on changin'
       F7            Bb
So I'm keepin' on top
         F7          Bb                   N.C.
Of every bad cat who walks through my door
 
[Chorus]
N.C.  F7      Ab7
I'm a space cowboy
Bb9                       Db7
Bet you weren't ready for that
      F7      Ab7
I'm a space cowboy
Bb9                          Db7
I'm sure you know where it's at
                       F7 Bb x2
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
          F7           Bb
I was born on this rock
              F7                     Bb
And I've been travelin' through space
            F7          Bb        F7
Since the moment I first  realized
Bb           F7               Bb        F7            Bb
What all you fast-talkin' cats  would do  if you could
              F7            Bb            F7
You know, I'm ready for the final surprise
Bb            F7          Bb
There ain't no  way around  it
      F7             Bb
Ain't nothing to say
             F7          Bb             F7
That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
Bb           F7              Bb
All the prayers and surveyors
              F7             Bb
Keep the whole  place uptight
              F7           Bb            N.C.
While it keeps  on gettin' darker outside
 
[Chorus]
N.C.  F7      Ab7
I'm a space cowboy
Bb9                       Db7
Bet you weren't ready for that
      F7      Ab7
I'm a space cowboy
Bb9                          Db7
I'm sure you know where it's at
                       F7 Bb x2
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
N.C.      F7              Bb         F7           Bb
I see the showdowns, slow downs, lost  and found, turn-arounds
    F7          Bb              F7
The boys in the military shirts
Bb        F7               Bb            F7            Bb
I keep my eyes on the prize,  on the long  fallen skies
           F7              Bb        F7
And I don't  let my friends  get hurt
            F7          Bb       F7          Bb
All you back  room schemers, star  trip dreamers
       F7                Bb      F7
Better find something new  to say
Bb                F7            Bb
'Cause you're the same old story
             F7         Bb
It's the same  old crime
           F7           Bb         N.C.
And you got  some heavy dues to pay
 
[Chorus]
N.C.  F7      Ab7
I'm a space cowboy
Bb9                       Db7
Bet you weren't ready for that
      F7      Ab7
I'm a space cowboy
Bb9                          Db7
I'm sure you know where it's at
                       F7 Bb x2
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
