The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs - When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings

[Verse 1]
 C
Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun,
                         D7         G7
comin' over yonder, when tomorrow comes.
 C                                      F
Let me tell you buddy, and it won't be long,
         C                            G          C
'til you find yourself singing your last cowboy song.

[Chorus]
        G                   F        C
Yippee ki-yi-yay, when the round-up ends.
        G                   F       G
Yippee ki-yi-yay, and the campfire dims.
        C                          F
Yippee ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings,
        C                G         C
When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings.

[Verse 2]
 C
When they wrap my body in the bindling sheet,
                             D7                  G7
and they take my six-irons, pull the boots from my feet,
 C                                        F
Unsaddle my pony, she'll be itching to roam,
        C                           G             C
I'll be halfway to heaven, under horsepower of my own.

[Chorus]
        G                   F        C
Yippee ki-yi-yay, when the round-up ends.
        G                   F       G
Yippee ki-yi-yay, and the campfire dims.
        C                          F
Yippee ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings,
        C                G         C
When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings.

[Chorus]
       G            F     C
Yippee ki-yi-yay, (I'm glory bound).
       G               F              G
No more jingle jangle (I'll lay my guns down)
       C                           F
Yippee ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings,
       C                 G         C
When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings.
