[INTRO]
[Am]Am [E] ..[Am] . [E]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]It's been a long dark dirty road
[F]And pocket full of [C]gold
And [E]I've been out here now
[Am]All on my own
[Am]Well it's real quiet here
[F]Just the way I [C]like it here
There's [E]no one to bother me
Except... [Am]

[Am]In 1955, [F]born into Wa[C]dena's pride
[E]I laid my head on that
[Am]Milligan creek bed
[Am]When I was a young man
[F]I helped build these [C]land
[E]I laid down these rails as a [Am]CPR man

[Am]Thought I'd live forever
[F]With my heart in my [C]pocket
Oh, my [E]gun by my side
And my [Am]feelings in a locket

[Am]Well, that was a cold year [F]in Seventy[C]seven
But [E]I married my wife
[Am]We had 2 kids
[Am]I gave her a daughter
[F]She gave me a [C]son
And we [E]rode those damn horses [Am]until we had none

[Am]Fists still like flyin'
[F]Doing things for [C]dyin'
Oh I [E]should have put that old gun [Am]away

[CHORUS]
But [F]I, I [G]am me, a broken [Am]cowboy
And [F]I don't [C]feel right no [E]more
'Cause [F]I [G]am a broken [Am]cowboy

[SOLO]
[Am] [F] [C] [E] [Am] (2x)

[VERSE 2]
[Am]Livin' life in the fast lane
[F]Racing cars and [C]robbing trains
I [E]thought I had it all
[Am]Then one day I got the call
[Am]A father's worst dream
[F]My son went [C]down and [E]I

[Am]The colours deceive me
[F]As I see [C]grey
Oh you're [E]cutting me down with those
[Am]Cold words you're saying
[Am]Then you called me brother
[F]But this can't be [C]so 'cause you [E]slander my name
[Am]Anywhere the wind will blow [F] [E] [Am]

[CHORUS]
[F]But I, I [G]am me, a broken [Am]cowboy
And [F]I don't [C]feel right no [E]more
'Cause [F]I [G]am a broken [Am]cowboy
Yes [F]I [G]am broken [Am]cowboy

[OUTRO]
[Am]It's been a long dark dirty road
[F]But a pocket full of [C]gold
And [E]I've been out here now
[Am]All on my own
[Am]Well it's real quiet here
[F]Just the way I [C]like it here
There's [E]no one to bother me
Except [Am]that old taunting tree
