verse 1: 

          G          C/G         G   G/B 
When the boy was no more than a shaver 
     D            D7     G   G/B 
His old man told many a tale 
          G             C           G    G/B 
How his great granddad used to go drovin? 
           D                D7       G 
Back and forth on the old Chisholm Trail 
          C 
Now you might say the boy got infected 
                         G 
By a fantasy of the old west 
         A7 
For his heart and his soul got connected 
       D                        D7 
To a spirit that won?t let him rest 




    G              G/B           C    D 
Now he don?t wear spurs that go jingle 
    G               G/B             C   D 
He don?t spend his nights ?round a fire 
     G          G/B         C      D       Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D 
And it?s diesel oil that his horses require 
G        G/B        C    D 
He is a latter day cowboy 
G             G/B           C  D 
Dressed as a truck drivin? man 
G            G/B            C    D       G 
Drivin? his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne

verse 2: 

         G           C           G     G/B 
He beds down by the side of the highway 
         D           D7            G   C 
At the sight of the first evenin? star 
         G           C        G   G/B 
In the darkness his big pony idles 
        D      D7         G 
As he quietly strums his guitar 
        C 
And he sings out a song of his sweetheart 
                                G 
Even as her sweet mem?ry grows dim 
        A7 
And he sings of the trail he has chosen 
         D                  D7 
But the actual fact is the trail chose him
