[Intro]
Em Am C Em
[Verse 1]
Em Am
Old Time vaquero, what you mean to me
C Em
When you look through milky blue eyes, but never really see.
Em Am
Old time vaquero, what you mean to me
C Em
A relic left over from the last century.
Am Em
Oh, you could tell some tales to a youngster like me,
Am C Em
Please Mister, tell me your life's history.
[Verse 2]
Em Am
Scuffed boots and old hat, ancient A fork saddle,
C Em
Times have been changing way too fast for this vaquero.
Em Am
No one wants to hire an old timer like me,
C Em
Throw me out the window, you young folks please,
Am C
These days,
[Verse 3]
Em Am
And I could show those rodeo kids, how to ride them broncs,
C Em
Show those team ropers, how to make a steer stop.
Em Am
And I could tell some tales, about the West when it was wild,
C Em Am C
But I'm just an old vaquero, who no one wants to hear...anymore.
[Verse 4]
Em Am
I ran with Will James, I sang with the coyotes,
C Em
I rescued dusky maidens from the bad man's clutches.
Em Am
Now I'm an old man sitting here alone,
C Em
Nobody wants to hear my tales about how the West wasn't won,
Am C
So long ago, so long ago.
[Verse 5]
Em Am
Chased those wild Caballos, across the big Owyhee,
C Em
Man I wish was back in that rolling sagebrush sea.
Em Am
I miss the thrill of the chase, I miss my old time friends,
C Em
But most of the time, I miss the feel of that wild Nevada wind,
Am Em
It's blowing down across Idaho to the old YP,
C Em
I wish it could blow away time and bring the desert back to me, yeah.
[Bridge]
