C                       Csus4      C     
I've been walking these streets so long  
C                Csus4 C   
Singing the same old song  
  C                               Csus4        G    Gsus4 G 
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway   
      F             Fsus4       F     
Where hustle is the name of the game  
    F                      Fsus4 
And nice guys get  washed away  
         F             C    Csus4 C 
like the snow  and the rain     
   
               G                     
There's been a load of compromising  
       F             C      
On the road to  my horizon  
    F                      Dm                    G  Dm G 
And I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me     
   
       F    G     C      Csus4 C 
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy     
       C                    Cmaj7              G  
Riding out on a horse in a   star spangled rodeo  
        F    G     C       F C 
Like  a Rhinestone Cowboy      
        C                      Cmaj7               G     
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know  
    Gsus4         G        F     C 
And offers coming over the phone   
Dm C Dm G F Dm F 
   
F      C            Csus4    C     
Well I really don't mind the rain  
    C                             
And smiles can hide all the pain  
                           Csus4  C   Csus4  
But you're down and you're riding the train  
              G         Gsus4 G Gsus4 
that's taking the long   way     
   
    F                               
And I dream of the  things I'll do  
       F      Fsus4       F                       C    Csus4 C 
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe     
               G       Gsus4 G       
There's been a load of compromising  
       F       Fsus4 C     
On the road to my horizon  
    F                      Dm                     G  Dm G 
And I'm gonna be where the lights are  shining on me     
   
       F    G     C      F C 
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy     
       Cmaj7          C6                      G  
Riding out on a horse  in a star spangled rodeo

Like  a Rhinestone Cowboy     
        C                      Cmaj7               G
