[Intro]
3 G# 3 C#/G# 3 G# 3 C#/G#
3 G# 3 C#/G# 3 G# 3 C#/G#
[Verse] [subtle]
G# C#
As I was out a-ridin'
G# D#
The graveyard shift midnight till dawn
C# G#
The moon was as bright as a reading light
D# G# C#/G# G# C#/G#
For a letter from an old friend back home
----------------------------------------
[full subtle]
G# C#
He said last night I ran into Jenny
G# D#
She's married and have a good life
C# G#
Boy, you sure missed the track when you never came back
D# D#7 G# C#/G# G#7
She's the perfect professional's wife
[Refrain]
C# D# G#
And she asked me, "Why does he ride for his money?
C# D# G#
And why does he rope for short pay?
C# D# G# [wlk] C# - G#/C - Bbm
He ain't gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share
D# G# C#/G# G#7
Oh, he must have gone crazy out there
-------------------------------------
C# D# G#
But then they've never see in the northern lights
C# D# G#
And never seen a hawk on the wing
C# D# G# [wlk] C# - G#/C - Bbm
Never seen a spring at the Great Divide
D# G# C#/G# G#7
No, they never heard old Cam Cookie sing
[Yodel]
6 C# 6 G# 6 D# 6 G#
6 C# 6 G# 6 D# 3 G# 3 C#/G#
3 G# 3 C#/G#
[Verse]
G# C#
Well, I read up the last of the letter
G# D#
And tore off the stamp for Black Jim
C# G#
Then Billy rode up to relieve me
D# G#
He just looked at the letter and grinned
[Chorus][sutble]
C# D# G#
And he said, "Why do they ride for their money?
C# D# G#
And why do they rope for short pay?
[back]
C# D# G# [wlk] C# - G#/C - Bbm
They ain't gettin' nowhere and they're losin' their share
D# G# C#/G# G#7
Oh, they all must be crazy out there
------------------------------------
C# D# G#
But then they've never see in the northern lights
C# D# G#
And never seen a hawk on the wing
C# D# G# [wlk] C# - G#/C - Bbm
Never seen a spring at the Great Divide
D# G# C#/G# G#7
No, they never heard old Cam Cookie sing
