(Intro) 

Amaj7   Dmaj7   Amaj7   Dmaj7



(Verse 1)

Amaj7              Dmaj7In the corner of a dark barroom

Amaj7             Dmaj7Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes

Amaj7                 Dmaj7Singing songs that he learned as a child

Amaj7             Dmaj7                Amaj7 Dmaj7All about the West back when it was wild

Amaj7                Dmaj7He said he came from down Texas way

    Amaj7                  Dmaj7The cowboys were tough the women the same way

Amaj7             Dmaj7Said he was a star back in '31

     Amaj7When Hollywood liked him

         Dmaj7                Amaj7 Dmaj7 For some songs that he had done



(Chorus)

Amaj7                Dmaj7   Amaj7  Dmaj7He's the last of the singing cowboys

Dmaj7             Amaj7Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7       Amaj7Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay



(Verse 2)

Amaj7                   Dmaj7He took a break just to chug him down some beer

Amaj7C'mon folks now holler out 

    Dmaj7The songs you'd like to hear

   Amaj7            Dmaj7And if I know one I know a million or two

Amaj7I'm not just up here playing for me

       Dmaj7           Amaj7 Dmaj7This is all done for you

Amaj7                       Dmaj7And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore

Amaj7                       Dmaj7Said it was the finest made since the war

Amaj7                        Dmaj7And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow

Amaj7                  Dmaj7                   Amaj7As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how



(Chorus)

 Amaj7                     Dmaj7   Amaj7'Cause I'm the last of the singing cowboys

Dmaj7            Amaj7Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7      Amaj7 Dmaj7Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay



(Instrumental break) 

Amaj7  Dmaj7   Amaj7  Dmaj7



(Verse 3)

Amaj7                  Dmaj7And after three hours or maybe more

Amaj7                      Dmaj7A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door

Amaj7                   Dmaj7The bartender said he's blind you see

Amaj7Don't tell him the only audience 

  Dmaj7             Amaj7 He had was you and me



(Chorus)

 Amaj7                      Dmaj7   Amaj7'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys

Dmaj7            Amaj7Singing songs of desperation and joy

         Bm              Amaj7 Dmaj7      Amaj7 Dmaj7 Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay

        Amaj7Yippie-I-Ay
