[Verse 1]
 
A            E     F#m     E            D
I am just a cowboy     lonesome on the trail
A               C#m7/G#               F#m   E  D
a STARRY night,   the CAMPFIRE light
A                  E F#m                    E      D
  The coyote call,      and the howling winds wail
A           C#m7/G#            F#m     E D
  So I'll ride out to the old sundown
 
 
D   C#m7   Bm7   A   x3
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A             E   F#m     E            D
I am just a cowboy   lonesome on the trail
A                E                      F#m   E   D
Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
A                      E       F#m          E           D
The nights we spent together        riding on the RANGE
A        E   F#m       E   D
Looking back it seems so strange
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                C#m7
Roll me over and turn me around
Bm7                          A
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
D                C#m7
Roll me over and let me go
Bm7            A
Riding in the rodeo
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A              E    F#m          E        D
I was took in Texas   I did not know her name
A                 E            F#m           E  D
Lord, all these southern girls seem the same
A                E          F#m         E  D
Down below the border in a town in Mexico
A         E            F#m             E  D
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                 C#m7
Roll me over and turn me around
Bm7                          A
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
D                C#m7
Roll me over and let me go
Bm7                    A
Running free with the buffalo
Here I go

[Outro]
D           C#m7  Bm7         A
  Roll me over     and I'll turn around
D                   C#m7  Bm7         A
  And I'll move my fingers    up and down
D                   C#m7  Bm7         A
                                      Up and down
D            C#m7  Bm7               A
  It's ok   AMIGO       Just let me go
D                   C#m7  Bm7              A
                          Riding in the rodeo
 
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till i hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy's life is the life for me

It all works for me! C#7 problems? Seriously? Its basically a power chord on the fourth fret of the A string. Play it loud through your amp the way Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson would have played it!

Great tab. I think it should be tuned down a half-step though.

I think C#m7 is better than E every second sentence of every strophes: A E F#m E D I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail A C#m7 F#m E D a STARRY night, the CAMPFIRE light etc.. Try singing!
