Let me tell you buddy, there’s a faster gun, 
  C                        D7      G 
Coming over yonder when tomorrow comes.

Let me tell you buddy, and it won’t be long, 
  C                                  G           C 
Till you find yourself singing your last cowboy song. 

G                            C       G 
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, when the round up ends.

Yippie-ki-yi-aye, and the camp fire ends.

Yippie-ki-yi-aye, he shouts when he sings,

When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings. 

verse 2 

C                               F         C 
When they wrap my body in the thin thin sheet, 
C                                      D7          G 
And they take my six irons, pull the boots from my feet. 
C                              F       Am 
Unsaddle my pony, she’ll be itching to roam. 
  C                                G              C 
I’ll be half way to heaven under horse powered my own. 

G                            C       G 
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, when the round up ends. 
G                           F       C 
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, and the camp fire ends. 
G                      F             Am 
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, he shouts when he sings, 
C                          G         C 
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings.

Yippie-ki-yi-aye, and glory bound, 
G                         F          C 
No more jingle jangle, I lay my guns down.

When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings.
