Rhinestone Cowboy

[Intro]
| C | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
          C                            F
I've been walking these streets so long
C                        F
Singing the same old song
  C                                            G       C
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
G      F
 Where hustle's the name of the game
                                                        C F
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
C               G
 There's been a load of compromising
       F              C
On the road to my horizon
    F                      F#dim                   G
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
       F    G     C     F
Like a rhinestone cowboy

[Chorus]
C                           C7M               G
 Riding out on a horse in a starspangled rodeo
       F    G     C     F
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C                               C7M                     G
 Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
                           F    C Dm
And offers coming over the phone
C G F G F Em

[Verse 2]
Dm F G       C
     Well, I really don't mind the rain
F     C
And a smile can hide all the pain
F          C
But you're down when you're riding the train that's taking
        G   C
the long way
G      F
 And I dream of the things I'll do
                                                      C F
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe

[Pre-Chorus]
C               G
 There's been a load of compromising
       F              C
On the road to my horizon
    F                      F#dim                   G
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
       F    G     C     F
Like a rhinestone cowboy

[Chorus]
C                           C7M               G
 Riding out on a horse in a starspangled rodeo
       F    G     C     F
Like a rhinestone cowboy
C                               C7M                     G
 Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
                           F    C Dm
And offers coming over the phone
C G F G F Em
Dm       F    G     C     F
  Like a rhinestone cowboy

[Chorus/Outro]
C                           C7M               G
 Riding out on a horse in a starspangled rodeo
       F    G     C     F
Like a rhinestone cowboy

[Fade Out]
C                               C7M                     G
 Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
       F    G     C
Like a rhinestone cowboy
