[Intro]
D  A  E  A  

[Chorus]
A                      G
I'm just 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
                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
                           E
I meet 'em down at Barney's Beanery
           D                     E
In their platform heels and spit curls
   D                  E
I buy 'em drinks, we smoke our hopes
           A                D
And try to make it one more night
              A
When I'm left alone at last
   E                       A
I feel like I'll die of fright

[Chorus]
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
                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
                                 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
                       A
When all the shows are over,
E                    A
Where do you think I go?

[Chorus]
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've 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
