I'm an Old Cowhand 
Recorded by the Sons of the Pioneers
Written by Johnny Mercer

C        F     C              F     C
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay   yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
           F       G7           C
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
               F     G7            C
And I sing the songs in the cowboy band

       Am                     Em
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
          Am                   Em
About the big corral where the doggies go
      Am                     Em
Cuz I learned 'em all on the radio

C        F     C             F     C
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay  yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
            F       G7           C
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
                 F      G7            C
And he plays the fiddle in the cowboy band

C        F     C             F     C
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay  yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
            F       G7           C
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
                 F     G7            C
And he calls the dance in the cowboy band
 
      Am            Em
Dosie-do all around your pard
      Am                Em
Swing that gal till she gits tarred
          Am                   Em
Allemande left in your own backyard

C        F     C              F     C
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay   yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
            F       G7           C
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
             F      G7            C
And he plays guitar in the cowboy band

         F     C              F     C
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay   yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
            F       G7           C
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
                 F    G7            C
And he plays the bass in the cowboy band

         F     C              F     C
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay   yipee-yi-o-kie-yay

         F     C              F     C
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay   yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
    F                                C
Ooooeeeeoooooeeeeeeoooooaaaaaeeeeoooooo
