Amaj7              Dmaj7
In the corner of a dark barroom

Amaj7             Dmaj7
Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes

Amaj7                 Dmaj7
Singing songs that he learned as a child

Amaj7             Dmaj7                Amaj7 Dmaj7
All about the West back when it was wild

Amaj7                Dmaj7
He said he came from down Texas way

    Amaj7                  Dmaj7
The cowboys were tough the women the same way

Amaj7             Dmaj7
Said he was a star back in '31

     Amaj7
When Hollywood liked him

         Dmaj7                Amaj7 Dmaj7 
For some songs that he had done

Amaj7                Dmaj7   Amaj7  Dmaj7
He's the last of the singing cowboys

Dmaj7             Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7       Amaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay

Amaj7                   Dmaj7
He took a break just to chug him down some beer

Amaj7
C'mon folks now holler out 

    Dmaj7
The songs you'd like to hear

   Amsj7            Dmaj7
And if I know one I know a million or two

Amaj7
I'm not just up here playing for me

       Dmaj7           Amaj7 Dmaj7
This is all done for you

Amaj7                       Dmaj7
And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore

Amaj7                       Dmaj7
Said it was the finest made since the war

Amaj7                        Dmaj7
And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow

Amaj7                  Dmaj7                   Amaj7
As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how

 Amaj7                     Dmaj7   Amaj7
'Cause I'm the last of the singing cowboys

Dmaj7            Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7      Amaj7 Dmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay


Break: Amaj7 Dmaj7   Amaj7 Dmaj7

Amaj7                  Dmaj7
And after three hours or maybe more

Amaj7                      Dmaj7
A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door

Amaj7                   Dmaj7
The bartender said he's blind you see

Amaj7
Don't tell him the only audience 

  Dmaj7             Amaj7 
He had was you and me

 Amaj7                      Dmaj7   Amaj7
'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys

Dmaj7            Amaj7
Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7      Amaj7 Dmaj7 
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay

        Amaj7
Yippie-I-Ay
