[Verse]
C
I've been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
G (Gsus4 G)
I know every crack in the dirty sidewalks of Broadway
F
Where hustle is the name of the game
Dm F C
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
G
There's been a load of compromising
F C
On the road to my horizon
F Dm G (Dm G)
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
[Chorus]
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C Cmaj7 G (C G)
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C Cmaj7 G
Getting cards & letters from people I don't even know
G F *
And offers coming over the phone
[Verse]
C
I really don't mind the rain
and smiles can hide all the pain
G
You're down while taking the train that's taking the long way
F
And I dream of things I'll do
Dm F C
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
G
There'll been a load of compromising
F C
On the road to my horizon
F Dm G (Dm G)
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
[Chorus]
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C Cmaj7 G (C G)
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C Cmaj7 G
Getting cards & letters from people I don't even know
G F *
And offers coming over the phone
[Chorus]
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C Cmaj7 G (C G)
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C Cmaj7 G
Getting cards & letters from people I don't even know
G F *
And offers coming over the phone
