Intro:
C      F        C
Yippee-i yippee-oh
       G                  C
Yippee-i yippee-oh yippee-ay
      F                       C
Which sounds rather silly but ev'ry hillbilly
       Dm            G            C   Dm G C
Spends half his life singing that way

Verse 1:
C                      Dm
He was just a lavender cowboy
     G                       C
With only three hairs on his chest
                              Dm                              
And he rode on a filly called Daffydowndilly
    G                      C                 
The prettiest horse in the West

Verse 2:
                              Dm
Ev'ry morning they went out together
          G                     C
While the others looked on in dismay
                                  Dm         
'Cause he'd round up the cattle a-ridin' side-saddle
  G                          C  Dm G C
Because he preferred it that way

Verse 3:
C                      Dm
He was just a lavender cowboy
    G                    C
Who committed a terrible sin
                            Dm
He went out on a bender and slugged a bartender
    G                        C
And stole all the strawberry gin

Verse 1v:   
                             Dm
So the posse was sent out to find him
    G                       C 
And bring him back dead or alive
                                     Dm
And they knew as they went they were hot on the scent
       G                  C Dm G C
By the smell of Chanel No.5

Verse 5:
                             Dm
And they found him a-lyin' unconcious
     G                          C
With blood running all down his chin
                                  Dm
Till they looked a bit closer and what do you know sir
     G                       C
They found it was strawberry gin

Verse 6:
                          Dm
So they shot the lavender cowboy  
    G                        C
And said as they laid him to rest
                              Dm
You'll be happier now boy you can't be a cowboy
     G                        C
