Verse:
 
    D             Dsus4 Dsus2 D
It's all the same, 

Cadd9               G
Only the names will change 

Cadd9  G                   F    D   Dsus4
Everyday it seems we're wasting away 

 D            Dsus4 Dsus2 D
Another place 

          Cadd9     G
Where the faces are so cold 
 
   Cadd9     G
I'd drive all night 
 
           F    D   Dsus4
Just to get back home 
 
Chorus:

     Cadd9  G
I'm a cowboy, 
 
    F             Dsus2  D
On a steel horse I ride 
  
  Cadd9  G
I'm wanted 

Riff A       D                  Riff A: d---0-3b5-5b3-0-
Dead or alive 				a-3-------------

Cadd9  G     Riff A       D
Wanted....   dead or alive

Verse 2:

    D             Dsus4 Dsus2 D
Sometimes I sleep,

Cadd9                  G
Sometimes it's not for days 

    Cadd9       G                 F        D    Dsus4
And people I meet always go their separate ways 

    D                     Dsus4 Dsus2 D
Sometimes you tell the day 

       Cadd9           G
By the bottle that you drink 

    Cadd9                 G            F      D     Dsus4
And times when you're all alone all you do is think

Verse 3:

  D                 Dsus4 Dsus2 D
I walk these streets, 
       
        Cadd9            G
A loaded six string on my back 

  Cadd9          G
I play for keeps, 

                  F       Dsus2  D
'Cause I might not make it back 

       D          Dsus4 Dsus2 D
I been everywhere, 

          Cadd9    G
Still I'm standing tall 

     Cadd9          G
I've seen a million faces 

                F    Dsus2  D
And I've rocked them all
