Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun,
                         D7         G7 -> bassoppgang
comin' over yonder, when tomorrow comes.

'til you find yourself singing your last cowboy song.

                                     D7            G7 -> bassoppgang
and they take my six-irons, pull the boots from my feet,
  C                   -> bassoppgang    F
Unsaddle my pony, she'll be itching to roam,
        C                         G                C -> bassnedgang
I'll be halfway to heaven, under horsepower of my own.
