It’s a Cowboy’s Life for Me By Jeff Gilpin
June 18th, 2011
Intro
Strumming D
Verse 1
There [D]once were two old cowboys
Who got [G]tired of their life on the [D]range
Takes a [G]long hard day to [D]earn your pay
And gets [A]harder as you [A7]age
It’s [D]not a life of comfort
It’s [G]dirty and dusty and [D]cold
[G]Coughing and wheezes and [D]old injury-zes
A [A]terrible life when you’re [D]old [D7]
Chorus 1
But [G]that’s life of a [D]cowboy
The [A]young, the old, and the [D]able
You’re [G]up with the sun un[D]til the jobs done
With [Em]some of your meals from a [A]table [A7]
So [G]choose your poison [D]partner
What [A]you want your life to [Bm]be
Whether it’s [G]good, bad, or [D]just a bit sad
It’s a [A]cowboy’s life for [D]me [A]
Verse 2
Said [D]one cowpoke to the other
I’m [G]thinking of quitting this [D]life
[G]Clear off some land where I’ll [D]do what I can
[A]Might even take on a [A7]wife
I [D]don’t even care if she’s ugly
I [G]just want one who can [D]cook
And [G]one who can clean and [D]isn’t so mean
If I can [A]find one not already [D]took [D7]
Chorus 2
[G]Give up my life as a [D]cowboy
[A]Give up this younger man’s [D]game
[G]Go off live in the [D]country
[Em]Forget my home on the [A]range [A7]
[G]Forget those long days on [D]horseback
That [A]fragrant smell of the [Bm]cattle
Those [G]aches and those pains and those [D]sores without names
That you [A]get from all day in the [D]saddle [A]
Verse 3
[D]But as they thought about it
[G]Giving up the life that they [D]live
[G]Give up their ways and [D]live out their days
Was [A]a lot of give up to [A7]give
So they [D]got back in their saddles
[G]Rode off back off to the [D]herd
[G]Back to their lives and [D]forgot about wives
[A]Dreams were just so many [D]words [A]
Chorus 3
[G]Back to their life as a [D]cowboy
For the [A]young, the old, and the [D]able
[G]Up with the sun un[D]til the job’s done
With [Em]some of your meals from a [A]table [A7]
‘Cause you [G]choose your poison [D]partner
What [A]you want your life to [Bm]be
Whether it’s [G]good, bad, or [D]just a bit sad
It’s a [A]cowboy’s life for [G]me [D]
