Verse 1:

Am It's been a long dark dirty road F C And pocket full of gold E And I've been out here now Am All on my own Am Well it's real quiet here F C Just the way I like it here E There's no one to bother me Am Except... Am F C In 1955, born into Wadena's pride E I laid my head on that Am Milligan creek bed Am When I was a young man F C I helped build these land E Am I laid down these rails as a CPR man Am Thought I'd live forever F C With my heart in my pocket E Oh, my gun by my side Am And my feelings in a locket Am F C Well, that was a cold year in Seventyseven E But I married my wife Am We had 2 kids Am I gave her a daughter F C She gave me a son E Am And we rode those damn horses until we had none Am Fists still like flyin' F C Doing things for dyin' E Am Oh I should have put that old gun away
F G Am But I, I am me, a broken cowboy F C E And I don't feel right no more F G Am 'Cause I am a broken cowboy

Am Livin' life in the fast lane F C Racing cars and robbing trains E I thought I had it all Am Then one day I got the call Am A father's worst dream F C E My son went down and I Am The colours deceive me F C As I see grey E Oh you're cutting me down with those Am Cold words you're saying Am Then you called me brother F C E But this can't be so 'cause you slander my name Am F E Am Anywhere the wind will blow
F G Am But I, I am me, a broken cowboy F C E And I don't feel right no more F G Am 'Cause I am a broken cowboy F G Am Yes I am broken cowboy
Outro Am It's been a long dark dirty road F C But a pocket full of gold E And I've been out here now Am All on my own Am Well it's real quiet here F C Just the way I like it here E There's no one to bother me Am Except that old taunting tree
