Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

VERSE:

C       F       C
He was only a lavender cowboy,
  F              G
The hairs on his chest they were two
C      F     C
He wanted to follow the heroes,
  G     G7    C
And do as the he men do

VERSE:

C          F      C
Red, green, and many colored hair tonics
  F              G
He rubbed on his chest day and night
C           F      C
When he looked in the mirror next morning,
G   G7      C
No new hairs grew in sight

VERSE:

C       F      C
He battled for Red Nellie's honor,
  F           G
He cleaned out a hold-up's nest
C        F     C
He died with two six-guns a-smokin',
  G    G7      C
But only two hairs on his chest
