Key: Eb

Verse 1:
Eb
 I'd be in a two-tone 6.7
             Bb
Have her all shined up and, knowin' me, it's dented



Cm7
Somewhere on the tailgate
     Ab
From rushin' out the driveway
                      Eb
I bet you I'll take a last call on a Saturday
      Bb
But a first row pew on the Lord's day
Cm7
Every single chance I got to
      Ab
Never lookin' for a reason not to

Chorus:
Eb
Maybe I'd be a little better two-stepper
Bb
Trade these Chucks for some worn-out leather
Cm7
Boots and walk a country mile in 'em
Ab
Taste the Rocky Mountain High livin'
Eb
Find mе out in Santa Fe
Bb
Maybe my heart wouldn't brеak
               Cm7                    Bb               Ab
And I'd have a horse to ride away and leave you in the dust
                 Eb
Baby, if I was a cowboy

Verse 2:
          Eb
I'd drink coffee straight black
         Bb
Hold the cream and sugar, maybe add Jack
        Cm7
Depends on if I'm home
              Ab
Lyin' next to you or you're still gone
Eb
My blue jeans would be a little less tight
   Bb
My back-left pocket would be outlined
Cm7                                                Ab
With somethin' I've been tryna quit for quite some time
      Cm7                               Ab
Kinda like what you're tryna do to me tonight

Chorus:
N.C.        Eb
God
I wish I was a little bit better two-stepper

Taste the Rocky Mountain High livin'

Find mе out in Santa Fe

Maybe my heart wouldn't brеak
               Cm7                    Bb               Ab
And I'd have a horse to ride away and leave you in the dust

Baby, if I was a cowboy

If I was a cowboy

Bridge:
               Cm7
And if I was a little more like John Wayne

I'd sing a little more like Hank

But it's hard to be somethin' I ain't

Maybe my heart wouldn't brеak
               Cm7                    Bb               Ab
And I'd have a horse to ride away and leave you in the dust

Oh, if I was a cowboy
