[Chorus 1]

           A             G
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
        D                E
Hanging out, and hanging on
        A             G
To your window ledge, callin' your name
     D              E
From midnight until dawn
      D             E
I been smoking dope, snorting coke
A                 D
Trying to write a song
D               A
Forgettin' everything I know
         E                A
Till the next line comes along
D               A
Forgetting everything I know
         E                A
Till the next line comes along


[Verse 1]

   A                          E
So many pretty people in this city, and I swear
D                A
Some of them are girls
A                           E
I meet 'em down at Barney's Beanery
         D                       E
In their platform shoes and spit curls
 D               E
I buy 'em drinks, we stoke our hopes
           A                D
And try to make it one more night
D             A
When I'm left alone at last
E                         A
I feel like I'll die from crying


[Chorus 2]

           A             G
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
        D                E
Hanging out, and hanging on
        A             G
To your window ledge, callin' your name
     D              E
From midnight until dawn
      D             E
I been smoking dope, snorting coke
A                 D
Trying to write a song
D               A
Forgettin' everything I know
         E                A
Till the next line comes along
D               A
Forgetting everything I know
         E                A
Till the next line comes along


[Verse 2]

      A             E
I know Kris and Rita and Marty Mull
    D                         A
Are meeting at the Troubadour
             A                   E
We'll get it on with the "Joy Of Cooking"
          D                   E
While the crowd calls out for more
      D                 E
Around six o'clock this morning
        A               D
I'll be gettin' kind of slow
D                      A
When all the shows are over, honey, tell me
E                    A
Where do you think I go?


[Chorus 3]

           A             G
I'm just a lonesome L.A. cowboy
        D                E
Hanging out, and hanging on
        A             G
To your window ledge, callin' your name
     D              E
From midnight until dawn
      D             E
I been smoking dope, snorting coke
A                 D
Trying to write a song
D               A
Forgettin' everything I know
         E                A
Till the next line comes along
D               A
Forgetting everything I know
         E                A
Till the next line comes along
