CAPO 1st FRET TO PLAY W/THE CD


(D) WELL, THERE HE SITS, HUDDLED BY HIS (Em7) FIRE
DREAMING HIS (G) DREAMS THAT HE’S DREAMED (D) BEFORE
JUST WATCHING THOSE SPARKS, DRIFTING UP TO (Em7) HEAVEN
AND WATCHING HIS (G) HOPES DRIFT AWAY LIKE (D) SMOKE
JUST LOOK AT THOSE SPARKS, DRIFTING UP TO (Em7) HEAVEN
SEEKING A (G) PLACE AMONG THE (D) STARS
DO YOU THINK SPARKS THINK OF (Em7) BEING STARS
AND IF THEY (G) DO, DO THEY KNOW THEY’RE (D) FOOLS

(Em7) HE DRIFTED TO TOWN SOME YEARS AGO WITH THE (D) FIRST FALL SNOW
(Em7) HE SPOKE OF THE CIRCUIT AND ALL THE BULLS THAT HE’D (D) RODE
BUT THE (G) BULLS HAD OUTDONE HIM, AND ALL HE’S WOUND UP WITH
WERE (D) BROKE BONES AND HANDFULS OF (Em7) DIRT
AND IF YOU’D (G) HAD HIS DREAMS, YOU’D KNOW HOW THAT MUST HAVE (D) HURT

(D) SO JUST LET HIM BE… A BROKE DOWN OLD (Em7) COWBOY
JUST LET HIM (G) DREAM…. HIS WORN OUT OLD (D) DREAMS
HE’S TALL IN HIS TALES…. WHERE HE WAS (Em7) QUICKER THAN MOST
AND IF YOU HAD (G) KNOWN HIM THEN YOU’D KNOW HE’S NOT ONE TO (D) BOAST

JUST LOOKS HOW HE WALKS WHEN HE SEES A LADY
STRAIGHTENS RIGHT UP, TIPS HIS HAT TO THOSE NEAR
AND LOOK AT THE KIDS, TEN STEPS BEHIND HIM
WHISPERING THINGS YOU THINK HE CAN’T HEAR
BUT IF YOU COULD SEE HIS EYES YOU KNOW HE DAMN WELL HEARS

SO JUST LET HIM BE… A BROKE DOWN OLD COWBOY
JUST LET HIM DREAM…. HIS WORN OUT OLD DREAMS
HE’S LONG IN THE TOOTH; HE’S BENT FRAIL AND FRAGILE
BUT IF YOU’D HAVE KNOWN HIM THEN YOU’D KNOW HE MIGHT SPEAK THE TRUTH

WE’VE ALL HAVE OUR DREAMS THAT WE CARRY AROUND
SOME DREAMS GO WITH US RIGHT INTO THE GROUND
SPARKS TURN TO ASHES: COWBOYS MEET THEIR MATCHES
AND THE QUICKEST, THEY DON’T ALWAYS WIN
BUT DREAMIN’S YOUR FIRST STEP AND ONE STEPS WHERE THE JOURNEY BEGINS

(D) SO JUST LET US BE… BROKE DOWN OLD (Em7) COWBOYS
JUST LET US (G) DREAM…. OUR WORN OUT OLD (D) DREAMS
WE’RE TALL IN OUR TALES  (Em7) WHERE WE WERE SO DAMN MUCH QUICKER THAN MOST
AND IF YOU HAD (G) KNOWN US THEN YOU’D KNOW WE’RE NOT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO (A7) BOAST (D)
