The Cowboy Song chords by Garth Brooks

D           D/F#     G       D
Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movies said it was
                     A7sus4       A7
And I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs
      D         D/F#      G        D
You worked hot and tired and nasty rode you pony's head too low
               A7          G
There were all the nights you couldn't sleep, cause it was too damn cold
        D     A7        D  Dsus  Dsus2  D
And you'd sing, Strawberry Roan and Little Joe

Verse 2
D            D/F#     G       D
Like the time we hit the river and the rains began to fall
                     A7sus4        A7
And the water was rising so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all
  D       D/F#        G         D
We lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts
              A7    G
But when all the boys rode into camp we knew that's what counts
       D      A7       D   Dsus  Dsus2  D
And we sang, Yippie Ti Yi Yay and Amazing Grace

    Bm        A           G     D
Or the night they broke behind us and then they took us by surprise
 Bm        A         A7sus4      A7
I whistled out the Bonner I seen the terror in his eyes
    D        D/F#          G
And he rode for all his horse would ride and I know he done his best
  D        A7      G
But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death
       D        A7           D   Dsus  Dsus2  D
And we sang, Bringin' in the Sheaves and the Rugged Cross

Instrumental Solo

Verse 3
  D         D/F#      G       D
So when you see that cowboy he's not ragged by his choice
                      Asus7     A7
He never meant to bow them legs or put that gravel in his voice
     D        D/F#          G       D
He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burning in his soul
          A7         G
Wishin' to God that he'd been born and hundred years ago
        D     A7         D  Dsus  Dsus2  D
Still singin', Strawberry Roan and Little Joe
