F                                                        Bb 
He met her in a honky tonk singing country songs that he wrote 
G                                                      C7 
She sat at a table listening to his music and drinking coke  
     F                                                   Bb 
Well he sat down beside her and said, “howdy what’s your name” 
    C7                                                               F 
She said “I like your music sir but foolin round is certainly not my game” 
 
 
F#                                                                  B 
When the small talk was over the cowboy drank his beer and took her home 
C#7                                             F# 
Lust on his mind in the bedroom he had her all alone 
F#                                               B 
And when the night was over the cowboy shook his head 
C#7                                                           F# 
Cause she slept on the sofa and the cowboy slept alone on his bed

G                                                               C 
She still sees the cowboy on the country shows and sometimes on TV 
   D                                                                   G 
He phones her up and talks to her long distance from wherever he might be 
      G                                                       C 
He’ll ask her how’s she doing she’ll reply by saying “oh just fine” 
        D                                                           G 
And the moral of this story is that cowboys don’t get lucky all the time 
 
 
        D                                                           G
