A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
FF Piano Chord 
         EmEm Piano Chord 
     G7G7 Piano Chord 

And she was a lady I say
CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 

But she met a cowboy who rode on a rodeo
FF Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

And he stole her heart straight away

CC Piano Chord 
          FF Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
FF Piano Chord 
          EmEm Piano Chord 
        G7G7 Piano Chord 

Another love she never had
CC Piano Chord 
           FF Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 

But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
FF Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 

And they make the ladies so sad

FF Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 

Chorus:		Sing me a melody
FF Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 

Sing me a blues
FF Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
FF Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 

The Brazos she's running scared
FF Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

She heard the news
FF Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes

CC Piano Chord 
          FF Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
FF Piano Chord 
        EmEm Piano Chord 
            G7G7 Piano Chord 

And you know she tried to hold on
CC Piano Chord 
     FF Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
FF Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 

He had to keep drifting along

CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 

She never married and she never would
FF Piano Chord 
          EmEm Piano Chord 
            G7G7 Piano Chord 

And all of the people they'd say
CC Piano Chord 
          FF Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good
FF Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 

To follow a cowboy that way

Chorus

FF Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
FF Piano Chord 
      EmEm Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

And in the morning he'd go
FF Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 

She loved the darkness and hated the light
DD Piano Chord 
                        GG Piano Chord 

Along with that damn rodeo

CC Piano Chord 
          FF Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 

The New Jersey lady the day that he died
FF Piano Chord 
           EmEm Piano Chord 
        G7G7 Piano Chord 

She covered him over with clay
CC Piano Chord 
           FF Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
FF Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 

She heard the old cowboy say

Chorus
