The Cowboy Song Garth Brooks
[D]Pushin' horns weren't [D/F#]easy like the [G]movies said it [D]was
And I don't recall no dance hall girls or [A7sus4]hotel rooms with ru[A7]gs
You worked [D]hot and tired and [D/F#]nasty rode you [G]pony's head too [D]low
There were all the nights you [A7]couldn't sleep, cause [G]it was too damn cold
And you'd sing, [D]Strawberry [A7]Roan and Little J[D]oe[Dsus] [Dsus2] [D]
Verse 2
[D]Like the time we hit the [D/F#]river and the [G]rains began to [D]fall
And the water was rising so damn fast we [A7sus4]thought it'd drown us [A7]all
We [D]lost a lot of [D/F#]steers that day and [G]four or five good [D]mounts
But when all the boys rode [A7]into camp [G]we knew that's what counts
And we sang, [D]Yippie Ti Yi [A7]Yay and Amazing [D]Grace[Dsus] [Dsus2] [D]
Or the [Bm]night they broke b[A]ehind us and then they [G]took us by [D]surprise
I [Bm]whistled out the [A]Bonner I seen the [A7sus4]terror in his eyes[A7]
And he [D]rode for all his [D/F#]horse would ride and I [G]know he done his best
But [D]he crossed over [A7]Jordan ridin' [G]Dunny to his death
And we sang, [D]Bringin' in the [A7]Sheaves and the Rugged [D]Cross[Dsus] [Dsus2] [D]
Instrumental Solo
Verse 3
So [D]when you see that [D/F#]cowboy he's not [G]ragged by his [D]choice
(ch)Asus7(/ch) A7
He never meant to bow them legs or put that gravel in his voice
He's just [D]chasin' what he [D/F#]really loves and what's [G]burning in his [D]soul
Wishin' to God that [A7]he'd been born and [G]hundred years ago
Still singin', [D]Strawberry [A7]Roan and Little Joe[D] [Dsus] [Dsus2] [D]
