Cowboy Carry Me Home 
Recorded by Mel Tillis and Nancy Sinatra
Written by Sid Wayne and Roger Howell

C         F                   Am
Hey I was playing guitar in a west Texas bar
    Gm                        C
The first time I saw her walk in
    F                       Am
She lit up the room like an orchid in bloom
Dm            Gm           C
While she was dancing with him

     A#7                          F
As I strummed on the string I had visions of things
     A7                     Dm
Like loving the whole night away
       Gm
Lord I wanted her so I just let my mind go
                                C
And I imagined that I heard her say 

             A#7
And she said cowboy carry me home 
       F
It’s a long night and I’m all alone
      C
We’ll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
        A#7                    C               F
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home

C    F                         Am
Yeah night after night in that smokey dim light
      Gm                     C
I was aching to see her once more
      F                          Am
Every song that I played was her own serenade
     Gm                       C
Of a heart of this poor troubadour   

       A#7                      F
Then I looked up one night to a beautiful sight
    A7                      Dm
And there was my dream come true
      Gm
I was playing my best taking every request
                                      C
And she said darling I’ve got one for you

Repeat #3 

A#7             F
Cowboy carry me home 

It’s a long night and I’m all alone
      C
We’ll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
        A#7                    C               F
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home

Repeat last verse
