🎸 Intro: 

F C F C




🎸 Verse 1:
F            C
Done playin' these city boy games
F            C
Done chasin' those red-eye planes
F           C                 G
And killin' myself to reheat a flame
F              C
Done wonderin' who's on his line
F              C
And what he's doin' with all his time
F               C                   G
And if I'm good enough for him to be mine

🎸 Pre-Chorus: 
           F
I just need a love that's simple
 N.C.
He could wear a Stetson or Resistol


🎸 Chorus: 
           Am
'Cause I'm needin', needin', needin'
         F                C
Somethin' good down to the core
          Am
Who keeps it easy, easy, easy
    F                G
To love like Sunday morn'
    Am
The strong and silent type
     F                  C
Who makes me his first choicе
               Am
That's why I'm holdin', holdin', holdin'
F           C
Out for a cowboy


🎸 Verse 2:
 F               C
Blue jeans and ridin' his horse
 F               C
Rough hands and a rеal strong boy
  F              C                 G
Throw in a good woman and he don't need much more
F         C
God
I know he exists
  F           C
So I'll keep on waitin' on him
   F          C         G
My salt of the earth, gentleman


🎸 Pre-Chorus: 
F
I need somethin' to last forever
N.C.
Like boots and good leather


🎸 Chorus: 
       Am
Yeah
I'm needin', needin', needin'
        F                  C
Somethin' good down to the core
               Am
Who keeps it easy, easy, easy
   F                G
To love like Sunday morn'
    Am
The strong and silent type
       F             C
Who makes me his first choice
           Am
That's why I'm holdin', holdin', holdin'
F          C
Out for a cowboy


🎸 Instrumental: 
Am     F C
Am     F C


🎸 Bridge: 
Dm
Oh
I'll be damned
            Am
Look who's walkin' up to me and
Dm
He's even better
G
Than he was in my dreams

He must've known


🎸 Chorus: 
       Am
That I needed, needed, needed
        F               C
Someone good down to the core
              Am
'Cause he's so easy, easy, easy
     F             G
To love like Sunday mornin'
               Am
Yeah, he's the strong and silent type
         F           C
He makes me his first choice
        Am
So worth holdin', holdin', holdin'
  F          C
Out for a cowboy
         Am
So worth holdin', holdin', holdin'
F          C
Out for a cowboy, yeah


🎸 Outro: 
                    Am
(I was holdin' out) Needed, needed, needed
 F           G
(For my cowboy)
Am
Easy, easy, easy (Easy)
 F                          C
(Holdin', holdin', holdin') It was so worth

Holdin' out for a cowboy
