Am
His mother was a snake
Am
His father was a scarecrow
Am
C
Born in the desert with his hat on his head
Am
Never missed a shot
Am
Sharp as a pharaoh
Am
Tequila in the sunrise
C
The desert was his bed
Am
Now he could dance the barn dance
Am
Like nobody before him
Am
But no woman would take him
C
Cos his eyes were rather strange
Am
In them you could see the emptiness of the desert
Am
Yellow like a scarecrow
C
Black like a snake
Am
He was a voodoo cowboy
Am
C
And he had never found a girl to call his own
Am
On and on and on
Am
That lonely cowboy
C
But a cowboy's never really
E
Am
Cowboy's never really alone
Am
He had a horse
Am
Whose name was Plenty
Am
C
And they saw things no man or beast has ever seen
Am
Out in the redness
Am
Out in the empty
Am
C
Where ghosts and spirits walk around like you and me
Am
He met a girl
Am
Called Annabelle
Am
C
And she was just the prettiest thing he'd ever seen
Am
Under a lake at the edge of the world
He met a girl
Am
C
Walking through the edges of his dreams
Am
He was a voodoo cowboy
Am
C
And he was following a psychedelic stream
Am
On and on and on
Am
That lonely cowboy
C
But a cowboy's never really
E
Am
Cowboy's never really deceived
Am
So he rode down
Am
Under the water
Am
C
And the sunset made a fire above his head
Am
In search of warmth in search of love
Am
In search of heaven above
Am
But all he felt was cold
C
And all he touched was wet
Am
But he could see her down a little bit deeper
Am
C
And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest
Am
So he reached out and she reached out
Am
And he touched her and she drew him in
Am
C
And kissed him as he breathed his final breath
Am
.
He was a voodoo cowboy
Am
C
And he had finally found a girl to call his own
Am
On and on and on
Am
Lucky lucky cowboy
C
Because cowboys almost always
E
Cowboys almost always die alone
