[Verse 1]
D                  C                   G
It's all the same, only the names will change
C        G                F        D
Ev'ry day, it seems we're wasting away
D              C                      G
Another place, where the faces are so cold
C             G              F        D
I'd drive all night, just to get back home
 
[Chorus]
C          G       F             D
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
C         G  F        D
I'm wanted,  dead or alive
C     G  F        D
Wanted,  dead or alive

[Verse 2]
D                  C                      G
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
C                G        F                 D
The people I meet, always go their separate ways
D                           C                      G
Sometimes you tell the day, by the bottle that you drink
C                     G           F             D
And times when you're alone, and all you do is think
 
[Chorus]
C           G      F             D
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
C         G  F        D
I'm wanted,  dead or alive
C     G  F        D
Wanted,  dead or alive

(Solo)
 
[Chorus]
C           G      F             D
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
C         G  F        D
I'm wanted,  dead or alive
 
[Verse 3]
D                         C                        G
And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
C               G          F                 D
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
          D                     C        G
I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
     C              G               F             D
I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all
 
[Chorus/Outro]
C                  G       F             D
'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
C           G        F        D
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
C                 G           F           D
Well, I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
C          G         F        D
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
C       G      C       G
Dead or alive, dead or alive
C       G        F         D
Dead or alive, I still ride (I still ride)
C        G     C        G
Dead or alive, dead or alive
C        G     C        G
Dead or alive, dead or alive
C        G
Dead or alive
