Intro + Main Fill (Twice) 


         G6sus    
Well I'm sittin' down in San Anton'

              Dmaj7
Waiting on an eight o'clock train

   G6sus
My woman left me here last night

                  Dmaj7
Things ain't been quite the same

       G6sus
I gotta get back to Dallas

            Dmaj7
And tie up a few loose ends

          G6sus                             
I'm gonna work a week make a hundred dollars

               Dmaj7
Aw and hit the road again

            G
So I don't want you to think


That you're the first one

           Dmaj7
To leave me out here on my own

           G                  F#m
Cause this ain't gonna be the first time

     Em      A            Dmaj7      G6sus + Main
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone



    G6sus
Now honey I've been a fool but a bigger fool

                 Dmaj7
I can't remember when I've been

       G6sus
Just to open up my heart 

           Dmaj7
And let you walk right in

     G6sus
Now there's one thing in this life

      Dmaj7
Ain't hard for me to do

         G6sus
That's as soon as I kiss the lips of another woman

          Dmaj7
I'm gonna forget all about you

            G
So I don't want you to think


That you're the first one

           Dmaj7
To leave me out here on my own

        G                  F#m
No this ain't gonna be the first time

     Em      A            Dmaj7       G6sus + Main
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone


Solo: Verse chords + Main Riff (Twice)



       G6sus
If you wrote all the woman's names down I know

           Dmaj7
And let me pick one out

        G6sus
I don't think there'd be one in the whole bunch

             Dmaj7
Aw I'd give a hoot about

            G
So I don't want you to think 


That you're the first one

               Dmaj7
To leave this ol' boy out here on his own

           G                  F#m
Cause this ain't gonna be the first time

     Em      A            Dmaj7
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone

        G                  F#m
No this ain't gonna be the first time

     Em      A            Dmaj7       G6sus + Main
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone

End: G F#m Em A (Dmaj7)
