The Cowboy Song Garth Brooks
Subject: The Cowboy song by Garth Brooks
[D]Pushin' horns weren't easy lik[D]e the movie said i[G]t was[D]
[D] [A]
[A7]and I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs.
You worked hot an[D]d tired and nasty,
rode your pony[G]'s head too low.[D]
There were all the nights you couldn't sle[A]ep
cause it [G]was too damn cold;
and you'd sing "Strawbe[D]rry Roan and "L[A]ittle Joe".[D]
[D]Like the time we hit the river an[D]d the rain began t[G]o fall;[D]
[D] [A]
[A7]and the water was risin' so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all.
We los[D]t a lot of steers that day and four or five [G]good mounts.[D]
But when all the boys rode into camp we[A] knew that's w[G]hat counts;
and we sang "Yippee [D]Tiyiyay" amd "Am[A]azing Grace";[D]
or the ni[Bm]ght they broke behind us and then took us by surp[G]rise.[D]
I whistled out to Bonner[D] I seen the terror in hi[A]s eyes.[A7]
[D] [D7] [G]
[D]And he rode for all his horse would ride and I know he done his best.
But he crossed over Jordan ri[A]din' Dunny to his [G]death.
[D] [A]
[D]And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross".
[D]So when you see the cowboy he's[D] not ragged by his ch[G]oice.[D]
[D] [A]
[A7]He never meant to bow those legs or put that gravel in his voice.
[D] [G]
[D]He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burnin' in his soul.
Wishin' to God that he'd bee[A]n born a hundred years a[G]go.
Still singin' "Str[D]awberry Roan" [A]and "Little Joe".[D]
This sounds right to me. Enjoy! toughjeep@aol.com
