John Denver The Cowboy and the Lady Lyrics

Capo II
In the airport lounge she sat
In a fancy feathered hat
The grandest lady I had ever seen
Outside the heavy rains
Had grounded all the planes
So I asked her if she'd like some company
In my rhinestone studded suit
My cowboy hat and boots
I must have been a sight for her to see
But she said, "Pull up a chair"
As she fumbled with her hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see
I was Mogen Davis wine
She was Chablis '59
But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady
She was evenings at the Opera
And summers in Paris
I was Grand Ole Op'ry, Nashville, Tennessee
The cowboy and the lady
As different as could be
But it seemed so right
G Em A(pause)
That rainy night in Tennessee
And somewhere in between
Her Harvey's Bristol Cream
And the beer I drank and the easy company
We somehow came together
For a night of stormy weather
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy
There's a little bit of cowboy in the lady
Solo: D G Em F#m Em D
The cowboy and the lady
As different as could be
But it seemed so right
G Em A(pause)
That rainy night in Tennessee
Interlude: D G Em G D
We somehow came together
For a night of stormy weather
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy
G F#m(pause)
There's a little bit of cowboy in the lady
Repeat and Fade: D G Em G D
