D                         G
He's a cowboy, he was raised in Ohio
       A                         D
He got married and moved further west
                        G
Showed up on time for a few awful years
        A                         D
And one night he got drunk and he left

[Verse]
                                G
Drove a truck for a while up in Fargo
       A                     D
But he never got used to the smoke
                            G
He once tried to settle and get some work
         A                           D
But he's still just as wild, just as broke

[Chorus]
     A                         D
The range has been settled for years now
        E7                             A
The old wranglers passed on with their kind
          D                       G
But every now and then, you run into these men
      A                         D
These cowboys born out of their time

[Verse]
                                    G
For some change he'll remember your birth place
               A                      D
'Cause there's hardly a town he ain't been
                            G
You can get up and leave anytime that you please
       A                      D
That's one thing that he understands

[Chorus]
     A                         D
The range has been settled for years now
        E7                             A
The old wranglers passed on with their kind
          D                       G
But every now and then, you run into these men
      A                         D
These cowboys born out of their time

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
                              G
He lives out his years out in Denver
    A                          D
His best friend is a bottle of wine
                             G
And you don't need to ask anything of his past
      A                        D
It's asleep in the back of his mind

[Verse]
                          G
As the sun rises over the Rockies
   A                          D
So strange that he don't even care
                      G
When it burns out and sets down in Kansas
             A                     D
He takes the fences around Larimor Square

[Chorus]
     A                         D
The range has been settled for years now
        E7                             A
The old wranglers passed on with their kind
          D                       G
But every now and then, you run into these men
      A                         D
These cowboys born out of their time
