Verse 1A
I?ve been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
E
I know every crack in the dirty sidewalks of broadway
D
Where hustle is the name of the game
BmDA
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
E
There?s been a load of compromising
DA
On the road to my horizon
DBE
And I?m gonna be where the lights are shining on me
ChorusEA
Like a rhinestone cowboy
E
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
A
Like a rhinestone cowboy
E
Getting cards & letters from people I dont even know
D
And offers coming over the phone
Verse 2A
I really don?t mind the rain
A
And smiles can hide all the pain
A
Your down while taking the train
E
Thats taking you to the long way
D
I dream of things I?ll do
BmDA
With a subway token and a dollar tucked in my shoe
E
There?s been a load of compromising
DA
On the road to my horizon
DBE
And I?m gonna be where the lights are shining on me
ChorusEA
Like a rhinestone cowboy
E
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
A
Like a rhinestone cowboy
E
Getting cards & letters from people I dont even know
D
And offers coming over the phone
