	        Intro Riff   
   
G                                           C   
I knew the stakes were high right from the start   
      D                  D7       G   
When she dealt the cards I bet my heart   
                                      C   
Now I just found a game that I can't play   
     D                  D7           G   
And this is where the cowboy rides away   
                                          C   
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun   
D                        D7       G   
Setting on the things I wish I'd done   
                                   C   
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday   
     D                  D7          G   
And this is where the cowboy rides away   
   
(Repeat Riff)   
   
G                                      C   
We've been in and out of love and in between   
     D               D7             G   
And now we play the final showdown scene   
                                          C   
As the credits roll a sad song starts to play   
     D                  D7          G   
And this is where the cowboy rides away   
                                          C   
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun   
D                        D7       G   
Setting on the things I wish I'd done   
                                           C   
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say   
     D                  D7          G   
And this is where the cowboy rides away   
                                           C   
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say   
D                   D7          G   
This is where the cowboy rides away
