Jesse went away last summer couple of month ago
  D MajorD                G+G        D MajorD
After all our time together, it was hard to see her go
 D MajorD                G+G                 D MajorD
She called me right up when she arrived, asked me one more time to come
 D MajorD               G+G        D MajorD
Livn on an L.A. freeway, aint my kind of havin fun
 G+G           D MajorD
I think Id rather be a cowboy
 G+G              D MajorD
I think Id rather ride the range
 G+G           D MajorD
I think Id rather be a cowboy
A augmentedA           AsusAsus       D MajorD
Than to lay me down in love and ladys chains

 D MajorD                  G+G      D MajorD
When we were just beginning, it was such an easy way
 D MajorD                   G+G        D MajorD
Layin back up in the mountains, singin songs for sunny days
 D MajorD                     G+G        D MajorD
But she got tired of picking daisies and cookin my meals for me
 D MajorD                       G+G        D MajorD
She can live the life she wants to, yes, and its all right with me
 G+G           D MajorD
I think Id rather be cowboy
 G+G              D MajorD

Id rather live on the side of a mountain
  A augmentedA   AsusAsus          G+G       D MajorD
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
 A augmentedA     AsusAsus     G+G      D MajorD
Id rather laugh with the rain and sunshine

An lay down my sundown in some starry field
 D MajorD                  G+G     D MajorD
Oh, but I miss her in the mornin, when I awake alone
 D MajorD                  G+G       D MajorD
And the absence of her laughter is a cold and empty sound
 D MajorD                        G+G   D MajorD
But her memory always makes me smile and I want you to know
 D MajorD                G+G        D MajorD
I love her, yes I love her just enough to let her go
 G+G            D MajorD
I think Id rather be a cowboy
 G+G             D MajorD
I think Id rather ride the range
