Intro: Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 In the corner of a dark barroom
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 Sat an old cowboy singing western tunes
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 Singing songs that he learned as a child
 Amaj7Dmaj7Amaj7Dmaj7
 All about the West back when it was wild 
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 He said he came from down Texas way
 Amaj7Dmaj7
The cowboys were tough the women the same way
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 Said he was a star back in '31
 Amaj7
When Hollywood liked him
 Dmaj7Amaj7Dmaj7
For some songs that he had done 
 Amaj7Dmaj7Amaj7Dmaj7
 He's the last of the singing cowboys 
 Dmaj7Amaj7
 Singing songs of desperation and joy
 BmAmaj7Dmaj7Amaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay

 Amaj7Dmaj7
 He took a break just to chug him down some beer
 Amaj7
 C'mon folks now holler out
 Dmaj7
The songs you'd like to hear
 Amsj7Dmaj7
And if I know one I know a million or two
 Amaj7
 I'm not just up here playing for me
 Dmaj7Amaj7Dmaj7
This is all done for you 
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 And then he bragged of the stetson hat that he wore
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 Said it was the finest made since the war
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 And I won this silver buckle ridin' on a cow
 Amaj7Dmaj7Amaj7
 As he laughed he said I bet you're wonderin' how
 Amaj7Dmaj7Amaj7
'Cause I'm the last of the singing cowboys
 Dmaj7Amaj7
 Singing songs of desperation and joy
 BmAmaj7Dmaj7Amaj7Dmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay

Break: Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 And after three hours or maybe more
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 A lady grabbed his arm and showed him to the door
 Amaj7Dmaj7
 The bartender said he's blind you see
 Amaj7
 Don't tell him the only audience
 Dmaj7Amaj7
He had was you and me
 Amaj7Dmaj7Amaj7
'Cause he's the last of the singing cowboys
 Dmaj7Amaj7
 Singing songs of desperation and joy
 BmAmaj7Dmaj7Amaj7Dmaj7
Yippie-I-Oh......Yippie-I-Ay.......Yippie-I-Ay

 Amaj7
Yippie-I-Ay
