[Verse 1]
Em               F               G                  Gsus4               G
I wake up in the morning, just glad my boots are on
Em                                           F                                           G
Instead of empty in the whispering grasses down the Five at Forest Lawn
Em                             F               G               Gsus4                G
On the set, the makeup girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin
Em                             F                             G               Gsus4                                           G
Then I give it all up for that little blue pill that promises to bring it all back to you again

[Chorus]
C               F               G               Gsus4               G
Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend

Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

Em               F               G                             Gsus4                             G
Here in the canyons above Sunset, the desert don\’t give up the fight
Em                                                         F                                           G
A coyote with someone\’s Chihuahua in its teeth skitters \’cross my veranda in the night
Em                             F                           G               Gsus4                             G
Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips her Mojito down at the Whiskey Bar
Em                                                         F                                                         G
Smiles and says she thinks she remembers me from that commercial with the credit card

[Chorus]
C                                                         F                             G
Hell, these days there ain\’t no more, now there\’s just again
Em                                           F                             G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

Em               F               G                             Gsus4               G
Some days I take my El Camino, throw my saddle in and go
Em                                           F                             G
East to the desert where the charros, they still ride and rope
C                                           F                             G
Our American brothers cross the wire and bring the old ways with them
Em                             F                             G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again

[Instrumental]
C | F | G | G | Em | F | G | G

[Verse 4]
Em                                           F                             G
Once I was shot by John Wayne, yeah, it was towards the end
Em                             F               G               Gsus4                             G
That one scene\’s bought me a thousand drinks, set me up and I\’ll tell it for you, friend
C                             F                                           G
Here\’s to the cowboys, riders in the whirlwind
Em               F                                           G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
Em                                           F                             G
And the western stars are shining bright again

C                             F                             G
Tonight the riders on Sunset are smothered in the Santa Ana winds
Em                                           F                             G
And the western stars are shining bright again
C                             F                             G
C\’mon and ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend
Em                 F             G                             Gsus2               G
\’Cause tonight the western stars are shining bright again
Em                 F                   G                 Gsus4                 G
I woke up this morning just glad my boots were on
