That's How A Cow Girl Says Goodbye       Tracy Lawerence

Intro 

F                         Bb
A cup of coffee with the first sun light
C                   F
At a last chance Texaco
F                                  Gm
I'm thrumbing through a worn out roadmap
(Gm)                          C
Trying to decide which way to go
 (C)                         Bb                            
These empty miles that are memory
  C                       F
They just seem to linger on
(F)                  Gm
She left me on this lost highway
(Gm)                           F
Wondering why and where she'd gone

CHORUS:
(F)                            Bb
That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man heart
  C                               F
That's how my whole world slowly came apart
(F)                     Gm
With a cold and empty stare
(Gm)                  C
As if I wasn't even there
(C)
She didn't even stop to cry
Gm                          F
That's how a cowgirl says goodbye
                                  Gm                         F
                 ending: I guess that's how a cowgirl says goodbye

lead
F                            Bb
Called up her mom down in abolene
C                          F
just to find out how she fared
(F)                             Gm
She said she stopped a while in San Antone
(Gm)                           C
spent some time with an old friend
(C)                        Bb                        
with all this distance in between us 
C                            F
I'm sure I never cross her mind
(F)                        Gm
And it may take all these roads ahead 
(Gm)                   F
just to leave it all behind
