G


♫ Chorus:
G                                          C
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
      D
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
                                   G
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
                                          C
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
        D
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
                       G
Even with someone they love

♫ Verse 1:
G
Cowboys ain't easy to love
                      C
And they're harder to hold
D
They'd rather give you a song
                 G
Than diamonds or gold
G
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis
    C
And each night begins a new day
       D
If you don't understand him and he don't die young
                          G
He'll probably just ride away


♫ Chorus:
G                                          C
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
      D
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
                                   G
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
                                          C
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
        D
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
                       G
Even with someone they love


♫ Verse 2:
A
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms
                   D
And clear mountain mornings
E7
Little warm puppies and children
          A
And girls of the night
A
Them that don't know him
A
Won't like him and them that do
D
Sometimes won't know how to take him
         E7
He ain't wrong, he's just different
E7
But his pride won't let him
                                 A
Do things to make you think he's right


Out-♫ Chorus:
A                                          D
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
      E7
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
                                   A
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
                                          D
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
               E
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
                       A
Even with someone they love
               E
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
                       A
Even with someone they love
