RHINESTONE COWBOY
I have taken into account the orchestral movement on this interpretation with some of
the chords (Gsus4 Cmaj7) plus as you are playing the C at the start of verse, hit the
1st and 3rd fret on the top e (whilst still strumming) in time with 'so long' on the
first verse etc. It's a good adaption for solo acoustic guitar and goes down very well
when I play it at a gig. (Nice on a 12 string!)
I've put the riff at the end of the chorus and the two chords beginners might have a
problem with at the bottom. As the original just fades out I've come up with A--2--
added to the riff on the chorus end then finish on a C.
[Verse]
C
I've been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
G (Gsus4 G)
I know every crack in the dirty sidewalks of Broadway
F
Where hustle is the name of the game
Dm F C
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
G
There's been a load of compromising
F C
On the road to my horizon
F Dm G (Dm G)
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
[Chorus]
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm G
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm
Getting cards & letters from people I don't even know
F *
And offers coming over the phone
[Verse]
C
I really don't mind the rain
and smiles can hide all the pain
G
You're down while taking the train that's taking the long way
F
And I dream of things I'll do
Dm F C
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
G
There'll been a load of compromising
F C
On the road to my horizon
F Dm G (Dm G)
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
[Chorus]
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm G
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm
Getting cards & letters from people I don't even know
F *
And offers coming over the phone
[Chorus]
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm G
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
F G C (F C)
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm
Getting cards & letters from people I don't even know
F *
And offers coming over the phone
* Riff

The preliminary chord charts show fingerings for chords A , E and B none of which appear to actually be used in the song ?!

Good job but The fretting for the G sus 4 chord at the end is actually, as written , for a G sus 4 add A and should read 2 not 0 at the fret on the 5th A string if it is to be a straight G sus 4
