Subject: CRD: Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell


Performed by Glen Campbell
Written by Jimmy Webb (I think)

Rhinestone Cowboy

[G7] Iāve [C] been walkinā the streets so long,
Singinā the same old song.
I know every crack on these dirty sidewalks of [G] Broadway;
Where [F] hustle is the name of the game,
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the [C] rain.

Thereās been a [G] load of compromising,
On the [F] road to my [C] horizon.
But [F] Iām gonna be where the [D] lights are shining on [Dm7] me; [G]

Chorus:
Like a rhinestone [C] cowboy, [F, C]
[C] Riding out on a horse in a [Cmaj7] star-spangled [Dm7] rodeo. [G]
[G7] Rhinestone [C] cowboy, [F, C]
[C] Getting cards and letters from [Cmaj7] people I donāt even [Dm7] know;
[G]
An offerās cominā over the [F] phone. [C]

Well I really donāt mind the rain,
And a smile can hide the pain;
But youāre down when youāre ridinā a train,
Thatās takinā the long way.
But I dream of the things I will do,
With subway ticket and a dollar tucked inside my shoe.

Thereās been a load of compromising,
On the road to my horizon.
But Iām goinā where the lights are shining on me;

Chorus
