[Intro]
C Am F G x2
[Verse]
C Am
I’ve fought the snow and rain driving cattle
F G
I’ve bared down on beast and bulls
C Am
Been beat down and banged up my brains rattled
F G
I’ve broken more than hearts and the rules
[Chorus]
F G C
But of all the crazy cowboy thing I’ve done
F G C
The troubles along the highways that I’ve run
F G Am
I’ve had my share of hard times it’s true
F G C
But the toughest thing I ever did was leaving you
C Am F G x2
[Verse]
C Am
From the skies I had a birds eye view of battle
F G
As the missiles tore those men limb from limb
C Am
When my plane finally touched down in Seattle
F G
I thanked God I won’t be going back again
[Chorus]
F G C
But of all the crazy cowboy thing I’ve done
F G C
The troubles along the highways that I’ve run
F G Am
I’ve had my share of hard times it’s true
F G C
But the toughest thing I ever did was leaving you
[Bridge]
Em F
I can still hear the screen door slam as I walked away
G
And in the rearview mirror I see your face
[Chorus]
F G C
yeah of all the crazy cowboy thing I’ve done
F G C
The troubles along the highways that I’ve run
F G C Am
I’ve had my share of hard times it’s true
F G
But the toughest thing I ever did

Yeah the toughest thing I ever did
F G C Am F G C
the toughest thing I ever did... was leave
