[Intro]
G C D G
[Verse 1]
G C
I knew the stakes were high right from the start
D G
When she dealt the cards I dealt my heart
G C
Now I just found a game that I can't play
D G
And this is where the cowboy rides away
[Chorus]
G C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
D G
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
G C
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday
D G
This is where the cowboy rides away
[Interlude]
G C D G
[Verse 2]
G C
We've been in and out of love and in between
D G
And now we play the final showdown scene
G C
And as the credits roll a sad song starts to play
D G
This is where the cowboy rides away
[Chorus 2]
G C
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
D G
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
G C
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
D G
This is where the cowboy rides away
[Outro]
G C
Oh, the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
D G
This is where the cowboy rides away

great tab! but he plays it without the capo... but i understand why you play it with one. He does have a pretty low voice in this song :)

There is a nice little chord progression you can add at the ends of the first and third lines after the C.
Em to Am and then to D in the next line.

I embelished a bit for solo acoustic.
