This is similar to other versions changing the C chord in others to Cadd9 which I think sounds better
and adding the Dsus4 D Dsus2 D "flicker" to the verse.

[Verse 1]

             
It's all the s

       
ame
         
Only the names

      
 will change
        
Every day   it

             
 seems we're w

     
asting away
            
Another place

    


          
Where the face

      
s are so cold
         
I'd drive all 


night
          
Just to get ba

   
ck home


[Chorus]

         
I'm a cowboy, 

            
  on a steel h

     
orse   I  ride
        
I'm wanted    

           
 dead or alive
       
Wanted     dea

         
d or alive


[Verse 2]

             
Sometimes I sl

       
eep,
         
Sometimes it's

         
 not for days
         
The people I m

            
eet always go 

              
their separate

 
 ways
             
Sometimes you 

               
tell the day
         
By the bottle 

      
that you drink
         
And times when

             
 you're alone,

             
 well, all you

       
 do is think


[Chorus]

         
I'm a cowboy, 

            
  on a steel h

     
orse   I  ride
        
I'm wanted    

           
 dead or alive
       
Wanted     dea

         
d or alive

And I've rocke

[Chorus]

         
I'm a cowboy,
