[Verse 1]

E                  D                   A

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

D        A                G        E

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

E              D                      A

Another place, where the faces are so cold

D             A              G        E

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

 

[Chorus]

D          A       G             E

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

D         A  G        E

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

D     A  G        E

Wanted,  dead or alive

...

[Verse 2]

E                  D                      A

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days

D                A        G                 E

The people I meet, always go their separate ways

E                           D                      A

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

D                     A           G             E

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

 

[Chorus]

D           A      G             E

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

D         A  G        E

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

D     A  G        E

Wanted,  dead or alive

(Solo)

 

[Chorus]

D           A      G             E

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

D         A  G        E

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

 

[Verse 3]

E                         D                        A

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

D               A          G                 E

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

          E                     D        A

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

     D              A               G             E

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

 

[Chorus/Outro]

D                  A       G             E

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

D           A        G        E

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

D                 A           G           E

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

D          A         G        E

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

D       A      D       A

Dead or alive, dead or alive

D       A        G         E

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

D        A     D        A

Dead or alive, dead or alive

D        A     D        A

Dead or alive, dead or alive

D        A

Dead or alive
