Am                    F                             C 
   I can use a better friend than the one I've got, my shadow 
Am                        C 
   Even when the Sun goes down, he will leave me by myself 
Am                         F                      C 
   In the mornin' he returns, but he doesn't ever say much 
Am                        F                C 
   I don't wanna ride alone down this dark and lonesome road 

Am                 F                       C          E 
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely from time to time 
Am                 F                    C 
'Cause even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes 
         Am                  F                   C 
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've come much too far 
                 Am                           F 
Yeah, to let you go now, please, don't let me go 
                   C 
Lord, don't let me go 

Am                            F                       C 
   Share the silence with a fire, roll the rest of my tobacco 
Am                       F                        C 
   Tellin' stories to myself, but I know them all too well (mm) 
Am                              F                        C 
   When the desert night is cold, I just want someone to hold me close 
Am                       F                           C 
   I don't wanna die alone, who's gonna love me when I'm gone? 

Am                 F                       C 
'Cause even cowboys can get lonely from time to time (mm-hmm) 
Am          F                    C 
Even cowboys do get lonesome sometimes 
         Am                  F                   C 
Yes, but I, I know one thing, I've come much too far 
               Am                           F 
Oh, to let you go now, please, don't let me go 
                   C 
Lord, don't let me go

Am                      F                      C 
   Look into my naked eye, reflect out into the horizon 
Am                      F                                C 
   Ooh, yet another day goes by and there's not a soul in sight 
Am                        F                    C 
   As I ride into the dark, as I ride into the sunset 
Am                                 F                    C 
   I guess it's time to say goodbye to the rider of the night
