Rhinestone Cowboy
1. I've been walking
these streets so long, singing the same old song.
D - G - D
I know every crack on these dirty sidewalks
of Broadway.
C
Where hustle is the name of the game,
G - C - G
and nice guys get washed away like the snow
and the rain.
D
C G
There's been a load of compromising on the
road to my horizon,
C A D
but I'm gonna be where the lights are
shining on me.
Like a rhinestone
cowboy ,
Em D - G - D
riding out on a horse
in a star spangled rodeo.
C D
G - C - G
Lika a rhinestone cowboy,
Em D
getting cards and
letters from people I don't even know,
C - D
and offers coming over
the phone.
2. Well, I really
don't mind the rain, and a smile can hide the pain,
D
But you're down when you're riding a train
that's taking the long way.
- G - D C
But I dream of the things I'll do,
G - C - G
with a subway token and a dollar tucked
inside my shoe.
D C G
There's been a load of compromising on the
road to my horizon,
C A D
but I'm gonna be where the lights are
shining on me.
