[Intro]

[Verse 1]

A                  G                   D

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

G        D                C        A

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

A              G                      D

Another place, where the faces are so cold

G             D              C        A

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

 

[Chorus]

G          D       C             A

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

G         D  C        A

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

G     D  C        A

Wanted,  dead or alive

...

[Verse 2]

A                  G                      D

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days

G                D        C                 A

The people I meet, always go their separate ways

A                           G                      D

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

G                     D           C             A

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

 

[Chorus]

G           D      C             A

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

G         D  C        A

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

G     D  C        A

Wanted,  dead or alive

 
...
 

(Solo)

 

[Chorus]

G           D      C             A

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

G         D  C        A

I'm wanted,  dead or alive

 

[Verse 3]

A                         G                        D

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

G               D          C                 A

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

          A                     G        D

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

     G              D               C             A

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

 

[Chorus/Outro]

G                  D       C             A

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

G           D        C        A

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

G                 D           C           A

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

G          D         C        A

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

G       D      G       D

Dead or alive, dead or alive

G       D        C         A

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

G        D     G        D

Dead or alive, dead or alive

G        D     G        D

Dead or alive, dead or alive

G        D

Dead or alive
