Cowboy Angel
INTRO: C G C
C F
Guitars and whiskey in a honky tonk somewhere
C G
Cowboy angel said here's one about a girl with flowers in her hair
C F
Wild flowers, asked the Knoxville boy, no the cowboy replied
C G C
A wild rose like those that grows along the road, a slow burnin' suicide
CHORUS:
F C
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel, it's too late anyhow
G
He's too far gone, still ridin' on your tears can't help him now
F G C F
Don't waste your love sweet Magdelene, it'll only slow him down
C G C
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town
(KEY CHANGE TO D)
That grevious wine of sympathy and a cross no man could bear
Are you goin', asked the Knoxville boy, hell yeah the cowboy replied
Then he blew his mind like a dandelion and rode off in the night
CHORUS
D A G D
Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town
For key change:
C = D
F = G
G = A
