Verse 1
D 
That sad -faced old doctor,
A 
Bm 
he just shook his head
D 
G 
Said now he'll never live
A 
to get up out of that bed
D 
A 
Well I guess that the devil's
Bm 
finally run him to ground
D 
G 
And if life is a circle,
A 
D 
he's just come back around
G 
I looked in his eyes, Lord,
F#m 
and to    my surprise
G 
Well, he gave me a little wink
A 
and said, Hey, son, help me rise
D 
A 
G 
D 
Well, I surely don't fancy
A 
D 
dyin' here inside
A 
Well, I helped him in some Levi's
Bm 
D 
and I beat up Stetson's hat
G 
And I helped him out the window,
A 
and we snuck around out back
D 
A 
Climbed into the cab
Bm 
D 
of my old pickup truck
G 
And we left that damn nursing home
A 
D 
a -chewin' on our dust
G 
He said, stop by the store, son,
F#m 
we'll pick  up some beer
G 
We'll drive out to the foothills
A 
D 
A 
where the air will be clear, real clear
G 
D 
And I'll tell you some things,
A 
D 
that you ought to hear
A 
G 
D 
I  was a cowboy, son, one of the best
A 
We were the fellas that
G 
tamed the Wild West
D 
Bm 
And I'm an old sinner,
A 
ain't much I didn't try
G 
D 
A 
I'll shout at the devil on the day that I die
G 
D 
I just got me one regret
Bm 
A 
that sure burns like fire
G 
D 
A 
D 
I wish I had never strung no barbed wire
A 
We kept to the back roads
Bm 
D 
up a black jacko bridge
G 
A 
Like we were a couple of runaway kids
D 
A 
And he'd point down at the prairie
Bm 
A 
and say, son, you see them cows?
G 
That used to be Wild Longhorn.
A 
It's just tame Hereford now.
G 
This was a wide open space
F#m 
as free as the wind.
G 
Prettiest damn country boy
A 
D 
A 
the day's ever been, ever been.
G 
D 
And then like a pack of phoenix,
A 
D 
we fenced her all in.
A 
G 
D 
I was a cowboy son, one of the best
A 
We were the fellas that
G 
D 
tamed the wild west
Bm 
I'm an old sinner,
A 
ain't much I didn't try
G 
So I'll shout at the dev
D 
A 
il on the day that I die
G 
D 
I just got me one regret that
Bm 
A 
sure burns like
G 
D 
Well, I wish that I had never
A 
D 
strung no barbed wire
A 
He leaned back his head
G 
D 
and he closed his tired eyes
A 
Took one deep breath
G 
D 
and he let out a sigh
G 
D 
Right there his soul slipped
A 
D 
through the barbed wire
You
