Cowboy chords by Allison Ponthier

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Bb                              Dm
It took New York to make me a cowboy
     Bb
Now everybody knows
       Dm
Even if I change my clothes

Bb                              Dm
Familiar, but strange, like an android
      Bb
From every gapin' hole
       Dm                     Ab
A new garden fully grows from me

Chorus:
Ab
Wasn't ready, I wasn't ready
          Gm7             Fm
I had a foot in my mouth, oh
Ab
   Saw the cutters through barbed wire
                           Gm7     Fm
I didn't know I could come out

Verse 2:

Bb                           Dm
Undoin' the weavin' of the old roots
      Bb
My greatest enemy
         Dm
Took up residence in me
Bb                             Dm
I feel like a criminal with no history
Bb
Runnin' from the law
          Dm                     Ab
Though I really loved them alll-lll

Chorus:
Ab
Wasn't ready, I wasn't ready
                   Gm7          Fm
I had a foot in my mouth,     oh
Ab
   Saw the cutters through barbed wire
                           Gm7     Fm
I didn't know I could come out    Oooh

I wasn't ready,      I wasn't ready

I had a foot in my mouth, oh no
Ab
   I know her everything by memory
            Gm7           Fm
I'm just a girl from the south

This is how I felt in the Bible Belt
Wanna be that girl for someone else
