[Verse 1]
Em F G Gsus4 G
I wake up in the morning, just glad my boots are on
Em F G
Instead of empty in the whispering grasses down the Five at Forest Lawn
Em F G Gsus4 G
On the set, the makeup girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin
Em F G Gsus4 G
Then I give it all up for that little blue pill that promises to bring it all back to you again
[Chorus]
C F G Gsus4 G
Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend
Em F G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
[Verse 2]
Em F G Gsus4 G
Here in the canyons above Sunset, the desert don't give up the fight
Em F G
A coyote with someone's Chihuahua in its teeth skitters 'cross my veranda in the night
Em F G Gsus4 G
Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips her Mojito down at the Whiskey Bar
Em F G
Smiles and says she thinks she remembers me from that commercial with the credit card
[Chorus]
C F G
Hell, these days there ain't no more, now there's just again
Em F G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Em F G Gsus4 G
Some days I take my El Camino, throw my saddle in and go
Em F G
East to the desert where the charros, they still ride and rope
C F G
Our American brothers cross the wire and bring the old ways with them
Em F G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
[Instrumental]
| C | F | G | G | Em | F | G | G
[Verse 4]
Em F G
Once I was shot by John Wayne, yeah, it was towards the end
Em F G Gsus4 G
That one scene's bought me a thousand drinks, set me up and I'll tell it for you, friend
C F G
Here's to the cowboys, riders in the whirlwind
Em F G
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
Em F G
And the western stars are shining bright again
[Chorus]
C F G
Tonight the riders on Sunset are smothered in the Santa Ana winds
Em F G
And the western stars are shining bright again
C F G
C'mon and ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend
Em F G Gsus2 G
'Cause tonight the western stars are shining bright again
