RHINESTONE COWBOY

I have taken into account the orchestral movement on this interpretation with some of
the chords (Gsus4 Cmaj7) plus as you are playing the C at the start of verse, hit the
1st and 3rd fret on the top e (whilst still strumming) in time with 'so long' on the
first verse etc. It's a good adaption for solo acoustic guitar and goes down very well
when I play it at a gig. (Nice on a 12 string!)

I've put the riff at the end of the chorus and the two chords beginners might have a
problem with at the bottom. As the original just fades out I've come up with A--2--
added to the riff on the chorus end then finish on a C.



[Verse]

[Verse]

  
I really don't

 mind the rain
and smiles can hide all the pain
              
You're down wh

              
ile taking the

              
 train that's

And I dream of

 things I'll d

With a subway 

             
token and a do

              
llar tucked in

     
side my shoe


There'll been 

a load of comp

romising
             
On the road to
