Gadd9 chord, another nuance you can pick up listening to the recordings and watching the various videos.

Verse 1
Gadd9
Well I'm sittin' down in San Anton'
Dmaj7
Waiting on an eight o'clock train
Gadd9
My woman left me here last night
Dmaj7
Things ain't been quite the same
Gadd9
I gotta get back to Dallas
Dmaj7
And tie up a few loose ends
Gadd9
I'm gonna work a week make a hundred dollars
Dmaj7
Aw and hit the road again
Chorus
G
So I don't want you to think
That you're the first one
Dmaj7
To leave me out here on my own
Gm F#m
Cause this ain't gonna be the first time
Em A9 Dmaj7 Gadd9
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone
Verse 2
Gadd9
Now honey I've been a fool but a bigger fool
Dmaj7
I can't remember when I've been
Gadd9
Just to open up my heart
Dmaj7
And let you walk right in
Gadd9
Now there's one thing in this life
Dmaj7
Ain't hard for me to do
Gadd9
That's as soon as I kiss the lips of another woman
Dmaj7
I'm gonna forget all about you
Chorus
G
So I don't want you to think
That you're the first one
Dmaj7
To leave me out here on my own
Gm F#m
No this ain't gonna be the first time
Em A7sus Dmaj9 D6sus2
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone
Solo
Verse 3
Gadd9
If you wrote all the woman's names down I know
Dmaj7
And let me pick one out
Gadd9
I don't think there'd be one in the whole bunch
Dmaj7
Aw I'd give a hoot about
Chorus
Ends with A7sus Dmaj9
