Intro: F
F
So you came from New York city
Bb F
and you want to see the sights
F
You've heard all about those cowboys
C
and those crazy Texas nights
F
I see you've got your eye on something
Bb F
leaning on the bar
Bb F
But the toughest ride he's ever had
C F
was in his foreign car
CHORUS:
NC C
So don't call him a cowboy
F
until you've seen him ride
C
Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
F
don't tell ya what's inside no
Bb
and if he ain't good in the saddle
F Dm
Lord you won't be satisfied
Bb
So don't call him a cowboy
C F
until you've seen him ride
F
He's the Hollywood idea
Bb F
of the wild andd wooly west
In his french designer blue jeans
C
and his custom tailored vest
F
You think he's the real thing
Bb F
but I think you oughta know
Bb F
He can't even make it through
C F
a one night rodeo No
Chorus
Chorus one half step up: F F# C C# Bb B Dm Ebm
