Verse 1:
G 
Up in the mornin' 
D 
It's off to work I go 
Cadd9 
And drivin' along  
I got a feelin' for the country 
G          D 
Deep in my soul 
Cadd9 
I wasn't made for the big town 
G                      D 
I need boots spurs and jeans 
Cadd9              G 
Outside these city limits 
                D        G 
Where the air's cool and clean 
          D 
And I'm a city cowboy 
Cadd9 
Longin for the saddle and the pull of the rains 
D 
A city cowboy 
Cadd9 
Tryin' to shake these city chains 
D 
And all my life 
Cadd9           
I've been dancin to the rhythem of a different song 
G                   D           Cadd9 
Tryin to get a long way out of town

I'm a city cowboy

And high rise buildings

Workin' all day long

     G               D 
Doin everything all wrong 
Cadd9 
I need a southern sweetheart 
G                       D 
And a place to call my own 
Cadd9                       G 
Workin' the range from 5 to 9 
       D              G 
And my fingers to the bone 
          D 
And I'm a city cowboy

Ridin' along across the plains 
D 
A city cowboy 
Cadd9 
Tryin' to break these city chains

Ridin' hard

I'm lookin' for that song that's in my soul 
D                         Bm   C D 
And it sure ain't Rock N' Roll 
D                   G  Cadd9 
I'm a city cowboy

A city cowboy
