Verse 1:
4 -4 5 5 5
5 -5 6 5
5 5 5 -5 6
I've been walkin' these streets so long, singin' the same old song.
4 -4 5 5 5 -5 -5
6 6 6 -5 5 -4 3
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway.
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -7 7
Where hustle's the name of the game.
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7
7 7 7 -7 -6 6
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain.
6 6 6 -7
-7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6 -7 7 7 7 7 -6

There's been a load of compromisin' on the road to my horizon.
6 -6 -6-6 -6 -6 -7 7
7 7 -7 7 -8
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me.
6 6 7 -8 8 6
7 -8 8 8 8 8 -8 8 8
8 8 9 7 -8
Like a rhinestone cowboy, riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo.
6 6 7 -8 8 6
7 -8 8 8 8 -8
7 8 8 8 8 9 7 -8
Like a rhinestone cowboy, getting cards and letters from people I don't even
know.
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7 7
And offers comin' over the phone.

Well, I really don't mind the rain, and a smile can hide all the pain.
4 -4 5 5
5 5 -5 -5 6 6
6 -5 5 -4 3
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way.
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7
7
And I dream of the things I'll do,
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -7 7 7 7
7 -7 -6 6
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe.
6 6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7
-6 6 -6 -7 7 7 7 7 -6 6
There'll be a load of compromisin', on the road to my horizon.
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me.
