[Intro] (with whistling)
   

[Verse 1]

I've lived in 

lonely cities
             
I've crossed d

eserts on came

l back
            
And I've fille

              
d the halls of

              
 folklore with

        
 things I'd...

 rather we for

get
             
I could sweep 

           
you off the st

             
reet so saying

            
 this is godda

   
mn tough
             
But this town 

       
might be big e

nough...

[Verse 2]
       
See, I reckon 

what you're sa

ying
         
But this dog's

 run every cou

rse
     
I've roamed wi

thout my boots

 on
     
I've raced wit

hout my horse
           
And then I ate

             
 my horse's me

             
at straight fr

            
om my horse's 


bones
            
'Cause this do

g
N.C.
Must roam alone

[Interlude]
    x2

[Verse 3]

  You could sh

oot me in the 

mountains

  In the cold 

fat rain

  We could do 

it in the coun

tryside, as we

  walk the pla

in
             
It wouldn't gi

        
ve us any clos

ure
           
All cowboys ne

      
ed to trust
             
That this town

        
 might be big 

enough
N.C.
For both of us

[Instrumental]
   
   

[Chorus] (Sir Jimmy Barnes' inhuman screaming)
   
   
   
   

[Verse 4] (sounds better arpeggiated)
          
Well, I'd... b

e a doggamn li

ar
     
If I said this

 ain't a lonel

y town

  And what I w

ouldn't give

 ...to have a 

friend around
             
We could trade

           
 in all our si

lver bullets
            
And buy a patc

   
h of dust
             
This town migh

         
t just be big 

enough
N.C.
For all of us

[Chorus] (more screaming from Sir Jimmy)
