A Cowboys Dream chords by Eddy Arnold

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: E

Verse 1:
     E          A          E
Last night as I lay on the prairie
    E             F#7            B7
And looked at the stars in the sky
  E           A      E
I wondered if ever a cowboy
      F#7             B7            E
Would drift to that sweet by and by


Chorus:
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                     E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                      E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on

Verse 2:
     E           A          E
The road to that bright, happy region
    E             F#7            B7
Is a dim, narrow trail, so they say
  E                     A           E
But the broad one that leads to perdition
    F#7        B7             E
Is posted and blazed all the way


Chorus:
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                     E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                      E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on


Verse 3:
      E             A          E
They say there will be a great roundup
    E             F#7          B7
And cowboys, like dogies, will stand
      E              A         E
To be marched by the riders of judgement
        F#7        B7         E
Who are posted and know every brand


Chorus:
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                     E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                      E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on


Verse 4:
      E          A            E
They say he will never forget you
        E           F#7        B7
That he knows every action and look
       E             A          E
So for safety, you'd better get branded
          F#7         B7          E
Have your name in the great tally book


Chorus:
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                     E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on
E      E7   A  F#7
Roll on, roll on
     B7                      E
Roll on, little dogies, roll on
