[Intro]

[Verse 1]

C#                  B                   F#

It's all the same, only the names will change

B        F#                E        C#

Ev'ry day, it seems we're wasting away

C#              B                      F#

Another place, where the faces are so cold

B             F#              E        C#

I'd drive all night, just to get back home

 

[Chorus]

B          F#       E             C#

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

B         F#  E        C#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

B     F#  E        C#

Wanted,  dead or alive

...

[Verse 2]

C#                  B                      F#

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days

B                F#        E                 C#

The people I meet, always go their separate ways

C#                           B                      F#

Sometimes you tell the day, by the bottle that you drink

B                     F#           E             C#

And times when you're alone, and all you do is think

 

[Chorus]

B           F#      E             C#

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

B         F#  E        C#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

B     F#  E        C#

Wanted,  dead or alive

(Solo)

 

[Chorus]

B           F#      E             C#

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

B         F#  E        C#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

 

[Verse 3]

C#                         B                        F#

And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back

B               F#          E                 C#

I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back

          C#                     B        F#

I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall

     B              F#               E             C#

I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all

 

[Chorus/Outro]

B                  F#       E             C#

'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

B           F#        E        C#

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

B                 F#           E           C#

Well, I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side

B          F#         E        C#

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

B       F#      B       F#

Dead or alive, dead or alive

B       F#        E         C#

Dead or alive, I still ride (I still ride)

B        F#     B        F#

Dead or alive, dead or alive

B        F#     B        F#

Dead or alive, dead or alive

B        F#

Dead or alive
