ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ C
I've been walkin' these streets so longÊ Singin' the same old song
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ GÊÊ
I know every crack on these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ F
Where hustle is the name of the game
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ C
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ G
There's been a load of compromisin'
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ FÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ C
On the road to my horizon
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ FÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Dm7
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meÊ Chorus
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ CÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ FÊ C
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Cmaj7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Dm7
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo

Rhinestone Cowboy
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Cmaj7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Dm7
Getting' cards and letters from people I don't even know
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ FÊÊ G
Offers comin' over the phoneÊ Verse 2
Well I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide the pain
But you're down when you're riding a train
That's taking the long way
But I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meÊ Chorus
