[Verse 1]

G#                  F#                   C#

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

F#        C#                B        G#

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

G#              F#                      C#

Another place, where the faces are so cold

F#             C#              B        G#

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

 

[Chorus]

F#          C#       B             G#

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

F#         C#  B        G#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

F#     C#  B        G#

Wanted,  dead or alive

...

[Verse 2]

G#                  F#                      C#

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days

F#                C#        B                 G#

The people I meet, always go their separate ways

G#                           F#                      C#

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

F#                     C#           B             G#

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

 

[Chorus]

F#           C#      B             G#

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

F#         C#  B        G#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

F#     C#  B        G#

Wanted,  dead or alive

(Solo)

 

[Chorus]

F#           C#      B             G#

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

F#         C#  B        G#

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

 

[Verse 3]

G#                         F#                        C#

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

F#               C#          B                 G#

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

          G#                     F#        C#

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

     F#              C#               B             G#

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

 

[Chorus/Outro]

F#                  C#       B             G#

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

F#           C#        B        G#

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

F#                 C#           B           G#

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

F#          C#         B        G#

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

F#       C#      F#       C#

Dead or alive, dead or alive

F#       C#        B         G#

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

F#        C#     F#        C#

Dead or alive, dead or alive

F#        C#     F#        C#

Dead or alive, dead or alive

F#        C#

Dead or alive
