  			G         Em          G          Em               
Sometimes I dream of a world without war: 
C                      D 
People laughing in the sun... 
G         Em          G          Em           
A world without love ain't no place to live. 
C                      D 
Yet I'm still living but the gun... 
D                      Am 
I'm just another cowboy on the run. 

G         Em          G          Em       
Sometimes the rain gets all in my eyes 
C                      D 
Till I can't see the wrongs I've done... 
G         Em          G          Em     
I've got trouble on ahead, the sheriff close behind, 
C                      D 
God... I'd love to see the sun. 
D                      Am 
I'm just another cowboy on the run. 

G                        Am 
Standing in a window, I don't know what to do. 
G                        Am 
Hanging in a doorway, I'm trying to pass on through. 
G                        Am 
Walking on a freeway, I don't know where to go.  
G                        Am 
I go my way, there's nothing here to do. 

G         Em          G          Em     
I'll try to sail the sea, ride wild and free, 
C                      D 
Act as if my time would never come... 
G         Em          G          Em    
Keep on getting higher, set my soul afire, 
C                      D 
Baby, when all's been said and done... 
D                      Am 
I'm just one more cowboy on the run. 

D                      Am 
Just another cowboy on the run, 
D                      Am 
Yes, I'm still living by the gun, 
D                      Am 
I would give the world to see the sun.
