Intro (x2): C Am C Am C Am

Verse 1:
     C
I'm lonesome but happy
 F            C
Rich but I'm broke
        F                       C
And the good Lord knows the reason
   F           C
I'm just a cowpoke
     C
From Cheyenne to Douglas
        F         C
All the ranges I know
          F             C
'Cause I drift with the wind
       Am
No one cares where I go

Bridge: C Am C Am C Am Am

Verse 2:
  C
I ain't got a dime
          F            C
In these old worn out jeans
         F          C
So I'll stop eatin' steak
    F           C
And go back to beans
     C
I'll pick up a ten spot
   F          C
In Prescot I know
 F         C
Ridin' the broncs
      Am
In the big rodeo

Bridge:
   C Am C Am C Am
   C F C F C Am

Verse 3:
     C
Some evening springtime
  F           C
a filly I'll find
      F                   C
And I might spend all the summer
      F         C
With her on my mind
         C
But I'll never be branded
    F         C
And never be broke
       F            C
I'm a carefree range ridin'
  Am
Driftin' cowpoke
