  			D      Bm7    Em7  G/B A7         Edim   D    G   D 
I'm an old cowhand        from the Rio Grande, 
 
D      Bm7        Em7  G/B A7        Edim         D    G   D 
But my legs ain't bowed      and my cheeks ain't tanned; 
 
       Bm              F#m 
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow -- 
 
       Bm                     F#m 
Never roped a steer, 'cause I don't know how, 
 
      Bm                    F#m 
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now. 
 
D        Em7 G/B  A7/5+   D Bm7  D      Em7   G/B A7/5+   D 
Yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay,   yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay. 
 
 
D      Bm7    Em7  G/B A7         Edim   D    G   D 
I'm an old cowhand       from the Rio Grande, 
 
D      Bm7       Em7  G/B A7         Edim       D    G   D 
And I learned to ride       'fore I learned to stand; 
 
      Bm                F#m 
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date -- 
 
       Bm                  F#m 
I know every trail in the Lone Star state, 
 
         Bm                  F#m 
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8. 
 
D        Em7 G/B  A7/5+   D Bm7  D      Em7   G/B A7/5+   D 
Yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay,   yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay. 
 
 
D      Bm7    Em7  G/B A7         Edim   D    G   D 
I'm an old cowhand        from the Rio Grande, 
 
D      Bm7    Em7  G/B A7        Edim      D    G   D 
And I came to town       just to hear the band; 
 
       Bm                     F#m 
I know all the songs that the cowboys know 
 
          Bm                   F#m 
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go, 
 
          Bm                     F#m 
'Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o 
 
D        Em7 G/B  A7/5+   D Bm7  D      Em7   G/B A7/5+   D 
Yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay,   yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay
