The Cowboy Song chords by Garth Brooks

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD           D/F#D/F#     G+G       D MajorD
Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movies said it was
                     A7sus4A7sus4       A7A7
And I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs
      D MajorD         D/F#D/F#      G+G        D MajorD
You worked hot and tired and nasty rode you pony's head too low
               A7A7          G+G
There were all the nights you couldn't sleep, cause it was too damn cold
        D MajorD     A7A7        D MajorD  DsusDsus  Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD
And you'd sing, Strawberry Roan and Little Joe

Verse 2
D MajorD            D/F#D/F#     G+G       D MajorD
Like the time we hit the river and the rains began to fall
                     A7sus4A7sus4        A7A7
And the water was rising so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all
  D MajorD       D/F#D/F#        G+G         D MajorD
We lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts
              A7A7    G+G
But when all the boys rode into camp we knew that's what counts
       D MajorD      A7A7       D MajorD   DsusDsus  Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD
And we sang, Yippie Ti Yi Yay and Amazing Grace

    B minorBm        A augmentedA           G+G     D MajorD
Or the night they broke behind us and then they took us by surprise
 B minorBm        A augmentedA         A7sus4A7sus4      A7A7
I whistled out the Bonner I seen the terror in his eyes
    D MajorD        D/F#D/F#          G+G
And he rode for all his horse would ride and I know he done his best
  D MajorD        A7A7      G+G
But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death
       D MajorD        A7A7           D MajorD   DsusDsus  Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD
And we sang, Bringin' in the Sheaves and the Rugged Cross

Instrumental Solo

Verse 3
  D MajorD         D/F#D/F#      G+G       D MajorD
So when you see that cowboy he's not ragged by his choice
                      Asus7     A7A7
He never meant to bow them legs or put that gravel in his voice
     D MajorD        D/F#D/F#          G+G       D MajorD
He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burning in his soul
          A7A7         G+G
Wishin' to God that he'd been born and hundred years ago
        D MajorD     A7A7         D MajorD  DsusDsus  Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD
Still singin', Strawberry Roan and Little Joe
