[Intro]

G5/F    G5/D    G5/C     G5/F

G5/F    G5/D    G5/C     G5/F

 

[Verse 1]

G5/F                        G5/D

We rode all night across an endless desert

G5/C                        G5/F

We had no moon to light our way

                                G5/D

And though a million stars were slowly turning

G5/C                         G5/F

We lacked the consciences to pray

                          G5/D

Our horses running like a devil chase us

G5/C                                G5/F

Their feet, they hardly touched the ground

                         G5/D

Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolf howling

               G5/C                    G5/F

But I'm certain     I never heard that sound

 

[Pre-Chorus]

G5/F         Eb

Devil to pay     on judgement day

                     C5

Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?

 

[Chorus]

C5                       B5

This cowboy song is all I    know

           C5                     D5

To bring me   back into your arms

            G5             B5

Your distant sun, your shining light

            C5          D5

You'll be my   dog-star shinin' tonight

 

[Guitar Solo]

G5/F     G5/D    G5/C    G5/F

G5/F     G5/D    G5/C    G5/F

 

[Verse 2]

G5/F                        G5/D

I've been the lowest of the low on the planet

G5/C                      G5/F

I've been a sinner all my days

                          G5/D

When I was living with my hand on the trigger

G5/C                        G5/F

I had no sense to change my ways

                            G5/D

The preacher asked if I'd embraced the resurrection

G5/C                       G5/F

To suck the poison from my life

                         G5/D

Just like an existential cowboy villain

    G5/C                      G5/F

His words were balanced on my knife

 

[Pre-Chorus]

G5/F         Eb

Devil to pay     on judgement day

                     C5

Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?

 

[Chorus]

C5                       B5

This cowboy song is all I    know

           C5                     D5

To bring me   back into your arms

            G5             B5

Your distant sun, your shining light

            C5          D5

You'll be my   dog-star shinin' tonight

 

[Bridge]

Eb

In the night, in the night

Cm7                 C5      Dsus4

All my distances are   far

 

[Chorus]

C5                       B5

This cowboy song is all I    know

           C5                     D5

To bring me   back into your arms

            G5             B5

Your distant sun, your shining light

            C5          D5

You'll be my   dog-star shinin' tonight

 

[Organ Solo]

G5/F     G5/D    G5/C         G5/F

                    Dark star

[Piano Solo]

G5/F     G5/D    G5/C        G5/F

Dark star          Dark star

G5/F     G5/D    G5/C     G5/F

G5/F     G5/D    G5/C     G5/F
