I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
                 B                       E
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand
      C#m                G#m
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
       C#m                G#m
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
         C#m                 G#m
'cause I ride the range in a Ford V Eight
C#m     A    E   C#m     A    E

[Verse 2]
              B                 E
I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
              B                     E
And I come to town just to hear the band
       C#m                    G#m
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
          C#m                  G#m
'bout the big corral where the doggies go
         C#m                     G#m
'cause I learned them all on the radio
C#m     A    E   C#m     A    E

[Verse 3]
              B                 E
I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
                  B                     E
Where the West is wild 'round the Borderland
          C#m                     G#m
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
        C#m                G#m
And the Indians make you a rug or two
        C#m            G#m
And the old Bar X is a Barbecue
C#m     A    E   C#m     A    E
