Chorus
RE SOL
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
LA
don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
LA7 RE
make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
RE SOL
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
LA
they'll never stay home and they're always alone
LA7 RE
even with someone they love
RE SOL
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
LA LA7 RE
and they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
RE
Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis and each night
SOL
begins a new day
LA
and if you don't understand him and he don't die young
LA7 RE
he'll probably just ride away
Repeat chorus
(keychange)
MI LA
A cowboy loves smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
SI SI7 MI
little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
MI
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do sometimes
LA
won't know how to take him
SI
he's not wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him
SI7 MI
do things to make you think he's right
Repeat chorus ad infinitum or something :-)
