Rhinestone Cowboy

(Written by Larry Weiss) Campbell

Intro...C// Csus4// C// Csus4//

C// Csus4// repeat to G chord

I've been walkin' these streets so long singin' the same old song.

G

I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway.

F

Where hustle's the name of the game

F C//Csus4//C//

And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain

Csus4// G

There's been a load of compromisin'

F C

On the road to my horizon

F D7 G//pause Dm/G/

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Chorus:

G F/ G/ C///F/C/

Like a rhinestone cowboy

C Cmaj7 G///F/G/

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

G F/ G/ C///F/C/

Like a rhinestone cowboy

C Cmaj7 G

Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know

G F G/ F/ G/ (slow)

And offers comin' over the phone

C// Csus4// C// Csus4// repeat to the G chord

Well, I really don't mind the rain and smiles can hide all the pain

G

But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way

F

And I dream of the things I'll do

F C//Csus4//C//

With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe.

Csus4// G

There's been a load of compromisin'

f C

On the road to my horizon

F D7 G

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Chorus:

G F/ G/ C///F/C/

Like a rhinestone cowboy

C Cmaj7 G///F/G/

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo.

G F/ G/ C///F/C/

Like a rhinestone cowboy

C Cmaj7 G

Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know

G F//// G/ (fade)

And offers comin' over the phone.
