[Verse 1]
     D             C                   G
It's all the same, only the names will change
C        G                G  F     D
Every day, it seems we're wasting away
 D                       C          G
Another place, where the faces are so cold
    C          G             G   F    D
I'd drive all night, just to get back home
 
[Chorus]
      C     G       F           D
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
    C     G F        D
I'm wanted, dead or alive
C     G F        D
Wanted, dead or alive
 
[Verse 2]
    D                  C                  G
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
    C            G        G  F              D
The people I meet, always go their separate ways
    D                              C            G
Sometimes you tell the day, by the bottle that you drink
    C                  G         G   F         D
And times when you're alone, and all you do is think
 
[Chorus]
      C     G       F           D
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
    C     G F        D
I'm wanted, dead or alive
C     G F        D
Wanted, dead or alive
 
[Solo]
 
D               C     G       F           D
Ooooh and I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
    C       G        F        D
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
 
[Verse 3]
      D                            C              G
And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
  C             G          G     F           D
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
       D                     C        G
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
     C              G               G      F       D
I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all
 
[Chorus/Outro]
             C     G       F           D
'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
    C       G        F        D
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
            C     G           F           D
Well, I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
        C       G        F        D
And I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
       C          G      F        D
And I ride (and I ride), dead or alive
        C            G         F        D
I still drive (I still drive), dead or alive
C        G     F        D
Dead or alive, dead or alive
C        G     F        D
Dead or alive, dead or alive
