[Verse 1]
A E A D A
The legs on the lady a walkin' was tanned to a dark berry brown
D A Fm B7 E
Her body was made like a song to be played to the tune of a million a pound
A E A A7
She was a wonder of a woman, I reckon. And, she sure screwed her head on
D
right.
A E
The toast of the world was the long legged girl, and the cowboy who started
A
the fight
N.C.
He'd just pulled into town in an old green 1953 Chevrolet pickup truck,
With whiskey bumps all over it and the right front fender falling off.
He coasted on into a no parking zone,
Got out, and took the keys and chucked 'em down a gutter.
Turned around and just walked off.
[Verse 2]
A E A D A
He allowed how his time had been wasted, on drinking and running around.
D A Fm B7
He spent half his life searchin' barrooms at night for the sweetheart that he
E
never found.
A E A A7
It was plain from the moment their eyes met, they'd wind up in each others
D
arms.
A E
The lady's young life was laid open that night and the cowboy drank deep of
her charms.
[Chorus]
D A E
Singing hey-hi-de-he from the depths of the sea to the mountains so hollering
A
high.
D A E
He’d’ve found the best one under God's given sun, yeah the cowboy got lucky
A
that night.
[Verse 3]
E A D A
While the angel beside him lay sleeping he silently thanked God above.
D A B7 E
For being a kind hearted father, and blessing his love with her love.
A E A A7 D
For one night of love with that woman was more than he knew he deserved.
A E A
So he found all he had left worth givin' and he gave all he had left to her.
[Verse 4]
E A D
He slid back inside his ole Wranglers, and he filled up his boots with his
A
feet.
D A B7
While the subways beneath New York City, screamed through the veins of the
E
street.
