The Cowboy In The Continental Suit chords

[INTRO]

[D]

#1:
[D]Well he walks out in the arena all [A7]dressed up to the [D]brim
[D]Said he'd just came [Bm]down from a [A7]place called Highland Rim
Well he [D]said he came to [F#m]ride the horse the [G]one they called "The [D]Brute"
[D]But he didn't look like a cowboy in his [A7]Continental [D]Suit

#2:
[D]We snickered at the way he dressed but he [A7]never said a [D]word
[D]He walks on by the [Bm]rest of us as [A7]if he hadn't heard
A [D]thousand bucks went [F#m]to the man that could [G]ride this wild Ca[D]yuse
[D]A meaner horse was never born than the [A7]one they called "The [D]Brute"

[D]The horse that he was looking for was [A7]in chute number [D]eight
[D]He walked up very [Bm]slowly put his [A7]hand upon the gate
We [D]knew he was a [F#m]thoroughbred when he [G]pulled a sack of [D]Dukes
[D]From the inside pocket of his [A7]Continental [D]Suit

[D] [Eb]

[Eb]He rolled himself a quirley and he [Bb7]lit it standing [Eb]there
[Eb]He blew himself a [Cm]smoke ring and he [Bb7]watched it disappear
We [Eb]thought he must be [Gm]crazy when he [Ab]opened up the [Eb]gate
[Eb]Standing just inside was fifteen [Bb7]hundred pounds of the [Eb]hate

[Eb]The buckskin tried to run him down but the [Bb7]stranger was too [Eb]quick
[Eb]He stepped aside and [Cm]threw his arms [Bb7]around the horse's neck
And he [Eb]pulled himself u[Gm]pon the back of the [Ab]horse they called "The [Eb]Brute"
[Eb]Sat like he was born there in his [Bb7]continental [Eb]suit

[Eb]"The Brute's" hind end was in the air his [Bb7]front end on the [Eb]ground
[Eb]Kicking and a-[Cm]squealing trying to [Bb7]shake the stranger down
But the s[Eb]tranger didn't [Gm]give an inch, he [Ab]came to ride "The [Eb]Brute"
[Eb]And he came to ride the buckskin in a [Bb7]Continental [Eb]Suit

[Eb] [E]

[E]Well I turned around to look at Jim and [B7]he was watching [E]me
[E]He said I don't [C#m]believe the crazy t[B7]hings I think I see
But I [E]think I see the [G#m]outlaw the [A]one they call "The [E]Brute"
[E]Ridden by a cowboy in a [B7]Continental [E]Suit

[E]"The Brute" came to a standstill as[B7]hamed that he'd bin [E]rode
[E]By a city [C#m]cowboy in some [B7]continental clothes
The [E]stranger took his [G#m]money and we [A]don't know where he [E]went
[E]We don't know where he came from and we [B7]haven't seen him [E]since

[E]The moral of the story never j[B7]udge by what they [E]wear
[E]Underneath some [C#m]ragged clothes could [B7]be a millionaire
[E]Everybody [G#m]listen don't be [A]fooled by this ga[E]loot
[E]The sure enough bronc buster in a [B7]Continental [E]Suit
