Western Stars Chords & Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

[INTRO]
| [Em] | [F] | [Em] | [F] | [G] | [G]

[VERSE 1]
I wake up in the [Em]morning,[F] just glad my boots are [G]on [Gsus4] [G]
Instead of empty in the [Em]whispering grasses[F] down the Five at Forest [G]Lawn
On the set, the makeup [Em]girl brings me[F] two raw eggs and a shot of [G]gin [Gsus4] [G]
Then I give it all up for that little [Em]blue pill that promises[F] to bring it all back to you a[G]gain [Gsus4] [G]

[CHORUS]
Ride me down [C]easy,[F] ride me down easy, [G]friend [Gsus4] [G]
Tonight the [Em]western stars are [F]shining bright ag[G]ain

[VERSE 2]
Here in the canyons above [Em]Sunset,[F] the desert don't give up the [G]fight [Gsus4] [G]
A coyote with someone's Chi[Em]huahua in its teeth skitters[F] 'cross my veranda in the [G]night
Some lost sheep from Okla[Em]homa sips her Mo[F]jito down at the Whiskey [G]Bar [Gsus4] [G]
Smiles and says she thinks she re[Em]members me from that[F] commercial with the credit [G]card

[CHORUS]
Hell, these days there ain't [C]no more,[F] now there's just a[G]gain
Tonight the [Em]western stars are [F]shining bright ag[G]ain

[INTERLUDE]
| [Em] | [F] | [G] | [G]

[VERSE 3]
Some days I take my El Ca[Em]mino,[F] throw my saddle in and [G]go [Gsus4] [G]
East to the desert where the [Em]charros,[F] they still ride and [G]rope
Our American [C]brothers cross the [F]wire and bring the old ways with [G]them
Tonight the [Em]western stars are [F]shining bright ag[G]ain

[INSTRUMENTAL]
| [C] | [F] | [G] | [G] | [Em] | [F] | [G] | [G]

[VERSE 4]
Once I was shot by [Em]John Wayne,[F] yeah, it was towards the [G]end
That one scene's bought me a [Em]thousand drinks, set me [F]up and I'll tell it for you, f[G]riend [Gsus4] [G]
Here's to the [C]cowboys,[F] riders in the whirl[G]wind
Tonight the [Em]western stars are [F]shining bright ag[G]ain
And the [Em]western stars are [F]shining bright ag[G]ain

[CHORUS]
Tonight the riders on [C]Sunset are smo[F]thered in the Santa Ana w[G]inds
And the [Em]western stars are [F]shining bright ag[G]ain
C'mon and ride me down [C]easy,[F] ride me down easy, [G]friend
'Cause tonight the [Em]western stars are [F]shining bright ag[G]ain [Gsus2] [G]

[Tag]
I woke up this [Em]morning[F] just glad my boots were [G]on [Gsus4] [G]
