[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D
I ain't old
G
But I'm old enough to know
D G
Wasn't really all that long ago
D G
I could rope I could ride or rob a train
A G
Be back home when the dinner bell rang
[Verse 2]
D G
That was life it was outside day and night
D G
I never felt what being fenced in felt like
D G
All I knew was wide open and running free
A G
Who'd have thought I'd grow up to be
[Chorus]
G A
That cap gun cowboy kid I was
D Bm
Hot on the trail when the sun came up
G A
Chasin' those crazy dreams in my head
D
Like the wild west Jesse James John Wayne's did
G A
Now and then I saved the world
D Bm
Rescued and rode off with the girl
G A
It's finally all adding up
G A
Oh I am who I am because
G A D G
Of that cap gun cowboy kid I was
[Verse 3]
D G
I don't know exactly where or when
D G
I traded my old palomino in
D G
For that blonde pawn shop ol beat up guitar
A G
And saddled up this shooting star
[Chorus]
G A
Like that cap gun cowboy kid I was
D Bm
Hot on the trail when the sun came up
G A
Chasin' those crazy dreams in my head
D
Like the wild west Jesse James John Wayne's did
G A
Now and then I saved the world
D Bm
Rescued and rode off with the girl
G A
Yeah I wouldn't change a thing
G A
Oh I am who I am because
G A D
Of that cap gun cowboy kid I was
[Bridge]
G
I tried to raise you up
D
Not to be like me
Bm D
Cause I'm a thunder storm, rolling stone, a tumbleweed
G
But I'm sorry son
A
I look at you and see
[Chorus]
G A
That cap gun cowboy kid I was
D Bm
Hot on the trail when the sun came up
G A
Chasin' those crazy dreams in my head
D
Like the real McCoy Jesse James John Wayne's did
G A
Those memories are as good as it gets
Bm A/C#
Oh I am who I am because
G A D
Of that cap gun cowboy kid I was
[Outro]
