Verse  
G                C     G 
Campfire coffee from a tin cup in my hand 
C                                G        G7  
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold ...  
G            C  
a-playin' an old guitar  
  G               G7  
A friend I under- stand  
A7                               D        D7  
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul ...  

   G               C  
A- sleepin' in the moonlight  
  G              G7  
A blanket for my bed  
C                               G        G7  
Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind ...  
G                C  
Wakin' up in the mornin'  
        G           Em  
with an eagle over- head  
         G              D       D7      G  
Makes me want to fly a- way be- fore my time 
 
 
            G                  G7     C  
And I think God must be a cow- boy at heart  
        D         D7              G         D7  
He made wide open spaces from the start ...  
        G  
He made grass and trees and moun-(G7 tains  
      C  
And a horse to be a friend  
    D                       D7           G        G7  
And trails to lead old cow- boys home a- gain ...   

C  
Night life and big cities  
       G                G7  
Is al- right for awhile  
C                                    G         G7  
Sure makes you feel good when you're there ...  
        C  
But the country's so pretty  
        G             Em  
It goes on and on for miles  
A7                            D         D7  
takes away my troubles and my cares ...  

 
    D                       D7           G  
And trails to lead old cow- boys home a- gain.
