[Intro]

[Verse 1]

F#                  E                   B

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

E        B                A        F#

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

F#              E                      B

Another place, where the faces are so cold

E             B              A        F#

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

 

[Chorus]

E          B       A             F#

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

E         B  A        F#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

E     B  A        F#

Wanted,  dead or alive

...

[Verse 2]

F#                  E                      B

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days

E                B        A                 F#

The people I meet, always go their separate ways

F#                           E                      B

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

E                     B           A             F#

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

 

[Chorus]

E           B      A             F#

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

E         B  A        F#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

E     B  A        F#

Wanted,  dead or alive

(Solo)

 

[Chorus]

E           B      A             F#

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

E         B  A        F#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

 

[Verse 3]

F#                         E                        B

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

E               B          A                 F#

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

          F#                     E        B

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

     E              B               A             F#

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

 

[Chorus/Outro]

E                  B       A             F#

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

E           B        A        F#

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

E                 B           A           F#

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

E          B         A        F#

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

E       B      E       B

Dead or alive, dead or alive

E       B        A         F#

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

E        B     E        B

Dead or alive, dead or alive

E        B     E        B

Dead or alive, dead or alive

E        B

Dead or alive
