My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys

Willie Nelson

 
----------------------------------

 D
1. I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy
2. Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery

 GD
1. And loving the cowboy ways.
2. From being alone too long.

 D
1. Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes
2. You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare

 E7A7
1. I   burned   up   my    childhood    days.
2. Knowing well that your best days are gone

 D
1. I learned all the rules of a moder day drifter
2. Picking up hookers instead of my pen

 GD
1. DonUt you hold on to nothing too long
2. I let the words of my youth fade away.

 GDG
1. Just take what you need from the ladies and   leave them
2. Old worn out saddles and old worm out memories

 DA7D
1. With the words of a sad country song.
2. With no one and no place to stay.

CHORUS
 GD
My heroes have always been cowboys
 E7A7
 And they still are it seems
 GDG
 Sadly in search of and one step in back of
 DA7D
Themselves and their slow moving dreams.

This song is in 3/4 time. It sounds best if you hit the bass note of the
chord on the first beat of each measure. You might want to put in some bass
runs like A-B-C#-D between A and D chords where it sounds right.

If you want to talk country guitar with me, or if my notation makes no
sense
feel free to e-mail me.
