Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: C C Chorus: C F Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys G Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks G C Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such C F Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys G They'll never stay home and they're always alone G C Even with someone they love Verse 1: C F A cowboy ain't easy to love and he's harder to hold G C He'd rather give you a song than silver or gold C Budwiser buckles and soft faded Wrangler's F And each night begins a new day G If you can't understand him and he don't die young G C He'll probably just ride away
Chorus: C F Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys G Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks G C Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such C F Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys G They'll never stay home and they're always alone G C Even with someone they love verse 2: C F A cowboy like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings G C Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night C Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do F Sometimes won't know how to take him F G He ain't wrong, he's just different and his pride won't let him G C Do things to make you think he's right Chorus: C F Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys G Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks G C Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such C F Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
