Lonesome Cowboy(Cavaco chords)

	        

      C                 F             C                        F 
And then that lonesome cowboy, looked up at the stars in the sky, 
         C        Em          Am   Em       F                       C 
'I will leave my land and my horses, on that midnight train I will ride, 

        G     F               C 
To the city, far across the plains, 
         G    F                  C 
To that city, on that midnight train, here it comes, 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
 F                 C 
Choo choo choobeduwee, 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
F                  C   G F 
On that midnight train' 

      C                    F     C               F 
And then that lonesome cowboy, stepped into a bar, 
    C                            F                G                F 
A pretty girl slid over nice and easy, 'boy your money won't go far.' 

     C                     F               C                 F 
She took him outside to an alley, he got dragged into a fight, 
       C      Em       Am  Em        F                    C 
And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless night, 

         G     F               C 
In that city, far across the plains, 
         G              F                   C 
In that city, he could hear that midnight train, down the line, 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
 F                 C 
Choo choo choobeduwee, 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
          F                   Am  Bm E  Bm A 
He could hear that midnight train 

     C                 F         C                  F 
And now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay, 
     C                    F            G           F 
His horses they're still waiting, for he is gone away, 

    C                           F             C               F 
Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hill 
         C     Em           Am Em         F                C 
All you cowboys, take it easy,   there's no grass there at all, 

         G     F               C 
In that city, far across the plains, 
         G                  F                   C 
In that city, you'd better miss that midnight train, here it comes 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
 F                 C 
Choo choo choobeduwee, 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
              F                   C 
You'd better miss that midnight train 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
 F                 C 
Choo choo choobeduwee, 
  G                      
Choo choo choobe choobeduwa, 
       F                  Am 
That train is coming for you...
