John Denver - The Cowboy And The Lady Chords & Tabs

Capo II


D        G        Em      F#m  Em  D

       D                         
In the airport lounge she sat
    G
In a fancy feathered hat
   Em             G          D
The grandest lady I had ever seen
   D 
Outside the heavy rains
    G                 
Had grounded all the planes
     Em                                D
So I asked her if she'd like some company

      D                     
In my rhinestone studded suit
   G           
My cowboy hat and boots
  Em               G                D
I must have been a sight for her to see
        D
But she said, "Pull up a chair"
       G
As she fumbled with her hair
  Em                              D
A more unlikely pair you'll never see

      D
I was Mogen Davis wine
        G
She was Chablis '59
    Em                G              D
But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady
        D        
She was evenings at the Opera
    G
And summers in Paris
      Em                                D
I was Grand Ole Op'ry, Nashville, Tennessee

    Bm             A
The cowboy and the lady
   G                  F#m
As different as could be
       Bm        A    
But it seemed so right
     G          Em        A(pause)
That rainy night in Tennessee

    D    
And somewhere in between
    G
Her Harvey's Bristol Cream
        Em                   G         D
And the beer I drank and the easy company
   D
We somehow came together
      G
For a night of stormy weather
              Em                              D
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy
          G             F#m   Em      D
There's a little bit of cowboy in the lady

Solo: D        G        Em    F#m  Em  D

Interlude: D         G        Em    G    D
