Rhinestone cowboy

       C F C F 
       I've been walkin' these streets so long 
       C F C F 
       Singin' the same old song 
       C G C G 
       I know ev'rycrack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway 
       F 
       Where hustle's the name of the game 

       And nice guys get washed away 
       C F C 
       Like the snow and the rain 
       G 
       There's been a load of compromisin' 
       F C 
       On the road to my horizon 
       F D7 
       But I'm gonna be where the lights 
       Dm G Dm 
       Are shinin' on me 

       F G C F C 
       Like a Rhinestone cowboy 
       Cmaj7 C Dm G7 
       Ridin' out on the horse in the star spangled rodeo 
       F G C F C 
       Rhinestone cowboy 
       Cmaj7 C Dm 
       Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know 
       G F 
       And offer comin' over the phone 

       C F C F 
       Well, I really don't mind the rain 
       C F C F 
       And a smile can hide all the pain 
       C F C 
       But you're down when you're ridin' the train 
       G C G 
       That's taking the long way 
       F C F 
       And I'd dream of the things I'll do 
       C F C F C 
       With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoes
