Guest with no name-
Try this. I've always sung it in E, but it's all I7, IV7, and V7:

I7                      IV7             I7
When I was a cowboy, out on the western plains.(repeat)
IV7    V7      I7       IV7          V7    I7   
I made a half a million pullin' on the bridle reins.
       IV7                V7                  I7
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea. repeat
