Title: The Cowboy Song
Artist: Thin Lizzy
Album: Jailbreak
Tabbed By: Durx (sean.durx@btopenworld.com)

There seems to be a bit of confusion about this one. Some people say it's in Ab, some say it's in A. The right answer: Both.

This song was originally recorded in A, as it's almost impossible to play properly in Ab, but somewhere in the editing the pitch has been tweaked down ever so slightly - meaning that to the naked ear (and guitar) it's in A flat.

However I assure you that it's in (or at least was wrote and recorded in) A.

Anyways,

Repeat x2

I am just a cowboy,
Lonesome on the trail,
Lord, I'm just thinkin' 'bout
A certain female,

The nights we spent together,
Riding on the range,
Lookin' back,
It seems so strange.

[Chorus Riff]
Roll me over and turn me around,
Let me keep spinnin' till I hit the ground,
Roll me over and let me go,
Ride me in the rodeo,

[Verse Riff]
I was took in Texas,
I did not know her name,
Lord, All these southern girls,
seem the same,

Down below the border,
In a town in Mexico,
Got my job,
Bustin' broncos for the rodeo,

[Chorus Riff]
Roll me over and turn me around,
Let me keep spinnin' till I hit the ground,
Roll me over and let me go,
Ride me in the rodeo,
Here I go.


[Solo]

I'm pretty sure this is about 85% correct.
