TITLE: Rhinestone Cowboy
Lyrics and Chords
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
/ C CF C CF / / C CF C CF G GC G GC / F - - - /
/ F - - - C CF C - / G - - - / F - C - / F - D - Dm7 - G FG /
{Refrain}
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
/ C CF C - / - - Cmaj7 - Dm7 - G FG / 1st /
/ C - Cmaj7 - Dm7 - / G - F - C - /
Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
{Refrain twice}
