Chords and lyrics for The Phantom Cowboy - Remastered by Judee Sill (key of E).
Intro
[B] [B/F#]
[B/F#] [B/G#] [B/A#]
Verse 1
[B]I have seen the phantom [E]cowboy ride,
His [F#]trail of dust is in my [B]dreams.
With an [D#m7b5]eagle on his shoulder [E]through the clouds he glides
And [F#]sprints across the spatial [B]streams.
But the ledge is[D#m7b5/A] steep, and the [D#m]light is dark,
Still I see him[D#m7b5/A] leap, and he keeps on
[E]Headin' for a [D#m]star that's [C#m]not very [B]far, he's [B/G]travelin' [G#m7]on
a silver [F#]filigree.
[B/F#] [B/G#] [B/A#]
Verse 2
[B]I've been waitin' at the[E] eastern gate,
I [F#]waved my hand to flag him[B] down.
[D#m7b5]I always hope to [E]catch him but he just can't wait,
He's[F#] not allowed to touch the [B]ground.
But his [D#m7b5/A]touch can heal, [D#m]when the light is dark,
Doesn't [D#m7b5/A]need a shield, 'cause he keeps on
[E]Headin' for a [D#m]star that's [C#m]not very [B]far, he [B/G]likes it all[G#m7]
just because it's [F#]real.
[B/F#] [B/G#] [B/A#]
Verse 3
[B]Tho' I'm sittin' in the [E]grit and grime,
The [F#]spark of hope is in me [B]strong.
[D#m7b5]I'm gonna try to get[E] there in the nick of time,
And [F#]maybe I can ride [B]along.
If I [D#m7b5/A]have no fear, [D#m]when the light is dark,
I can [D#m7b5/A]feel you near, Tho' you keep on
[E]Headin' for a [D#m]star that's [C#m]not very [B]far, [B/G]please don't [G#m7]forget,
If your way is [F#]clear,
[B/F#]I'll [B/G#]be [B/A#]waitin'[B] here,
[E]do do do
