VERSE:
  G                          C            G
Away in a manger that`s the song that he hums
          G                                         D
Pitchin` hay for the cattle and he`s got horses to run
     G                         C
The snow on the pines is like tinsel that shines
         G                   D           G  G
There`s work to be done, but he doesn`t mind


CHORUS:
     Em                    D         C      G
His Christmas lights are stars in a Montna sky
 G                                          D   D
His Christmas cookies are ham biscuits he fried
    G                                   C
No stockings by his fire, just his ole cattle dog Gus
         G                            D            G  G
A glass raised to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas


VERSE:
   G                      C              G
A strong cup of coffee, beans and corn bread
    G                                  D
No visions of sugarplums dance in his head
       G                          C
Just dreams of an old love they twirl and they spin
     G                             D          G  G
What he wouldn`t give if he could hold her again


CHORUS:
 Em                  D              C           G
Barbed wire wrapped fencepost like garland on trees
    G                                           D  D
No mistletoe, no sweetheart, no presents he`ll see
          G                            C
Just the warmth of a fire and his ole cattle dog Gus
         G                            D            G  G
A glass raised to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas

VERSE:
     G                         C              G
The doggies are sleeping, the wind`s whining low
      G                                       D
It`s time to bed down but in the firelight`s glow
   G                        C
He opens his Bible the one his mama gave
            G                 D             G  G
Reads the story of Jesus born on Christmas day


CHORUS:
     Em                    D         C       G
His Christmas lights are stars in a Montana sky
 G                                          D   D
His Christmas cookies are ham biscuits he fried
    G                                   C
No stockings by his fire, just his ole cattle dog Gus
         G                            D            G  G
A glass raised to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas

               G                         D            G  G
He`ll tip his hat to his Maker that`s a cowboy Christmas
