Song For Ian Tyson(Chords)

	        
Intro: G/D/G 

G                 G               C             G 
Them old cowboys don?t sing too much no more 
   D 
They?ve been singing to the wind 
  C                           G 
And their throats are sore 
   G                                            C                        G 
And every love they rode away from makes them walk the floor 
        D                       C                            G 
Them old cowboys don?t sing too much no more. Ooh-ooh-oooh. 

  G 
Like an old wolf in a leg trap 
   C                                      G 
They?ll stand up fierce when you come 
   D                         C                           G 
They want to be counted but their time hasn?t come  
   G                           C                          G 
Just an old man drowning in a ten gallon hat 
            D                             G 
Like an old wolf caught in a leg trap 

 
      C            D             G                D            C 
     Dry and dusty dry and dusty whiskey makes the guitar rusty  
      G                                       D 
     But soothes the voice like honey for a while 
      C                 D                        C            D 
     Raise a glass to the cowboy friend who?s like we?ll never see again  
      C              D                  G 
     Whos songs run on like water for all time.   Ooh-oo-oooh. 


   G                                      C             G 
Way out on the prairie the cowboy wrote his songs 
   D                                    C                               G 
Long have grown the grasses round the spring where he sat long 
                         
Who?s crystal shattered fettered souls  
C               G                D                                G 
Of all who listened long and the cowboy strummed in time along 

        Chorus 
(repeat last line Chorus end on C) then G D C G 
?
