[Intro]

C C/B Am G F G C

[Verse 1]

C C/B Am G

Panhandle Slim was the pride of the plains

F C

The crabapple of his mother's eye

C C/B Am G

And he grew like a weed does in the West Texas rain

D7 G

Always reachin' for the sky

C C/B Am G

Sharp as a thorn on a prickly pear

F C

Quicker than lightnin' on his legacy mare

C C/B Am G

And at times more elusive than a panhandle bear

D7 G

And funnier than a jackalope

C C/B Am G

The last out of seven birds of a feather

F C

And the last with the family name

C C/B Am G

So the young lonesome rooster roosted the birdhouse

D7 G

The loneliest roost on the range

[Chorus]

Am F

'Cause horses need water and cotton needs rain

C G

Cowboys need love, or they'll drive you insane

Am F

And it sure gets lonesome here out on the plains

C G

And it hurts to cry with dry eyes

F Fm C

And if you ever see him, he'll tell you that he's doin' fine

[Interlude]

C C/B Am F G C

[Verse 2]

C C/B Am G

As time goes by, it slithers, and frame starts to wither

F C

But rust can't touch an innocent mind

C C/B Am G

When you grow like a weed does on the West Texas plains

D7 G

You'll learn to love sunshine

C C/B Am G

Through tired eyes, he dreams of girls from the city

F C

And the smell of myrtle perfume

C C/B Am G

And he looks to the stars, he sings a few bars

D7 G

To the lonesome man in the moon

[Chorus]

Am F

'Cause horses need water and cotton needs rain

C G

Cowboys need love, or they'll drive you insane

Am F

And it sure gets lonesome here out on the plains

C G

And it hurts to cry with dry eyes

F Fm C

And if you ever see him, he'll tell you that he's doin' fine

[Interlude]

C C/B Am F C

Am F C G

Am F C G

[Verse 3]

C C/B Am G

Slim's hat landed next to his jaw on the ground

F C

When he saw her walking his way

C C/B Am G

With eyes like sapphire, she spoke to his soul

D7 G

Without ever saying a thing

C C/B Am G

A single sunflower at golden hour

F C

Looking finer than a Georgia O'Keeffe

C C/B Am G

When you grow like a weed does on the West Texas plains'

D7 G

You know how to turn a new leaf

[Chorus]

Am F

Just like horses need water and cotton needs rain

C G

Cowboys need love, or they'll drive you insane

Am F

And it sure gets lonesome here out on the plains

C G

And it hurts to cry with dry eyes

F Fm C

And if you ever see him, he'll tell you that he's doin' fine

[Outro]

F Fm C

Now these days when you see him, he'll tell you that he's doi' fine
