I've been walkin' these streets so long
F C
Singin' the same old song
F C G
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
F Fsus4 F
Where hustle's the name of the game
Fsus4 F C C F \ C
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain

There's been a load of compromisin'
F C
On the road to my horizon
F D7 F G
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
F G C F \ C
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 F G
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
F G C F \ C
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Cmaj7 F G
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
F C
And offers comin' over the phone
(Hit this 3 on the D string upon the word "phone")

Well, I really don't mind the rain

And a smile can hide all the pain

But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way

And I dream of the things I'll do

With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
