My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

Key of D, with no capo to play along with the youtube video. In 3/4 time D I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy G D Loving the cowboy ways Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes E7 A7 I burned up my childhood days D I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter G D Don't you hold onto nothing too long G D Just take what you need from the ladies G D A7 D Then leave them the words of a sad country song G D My heroes have always been cowboys E7 A7 And they still are it seems G D G Sadly in search of but one step in back of D A7 D Themselves and their slow moving dreams Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery G D From being alone too long G D You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare E7 A7 Knowing well your best days are gone D Picking up hookers instead of my pen G D I let the words of my years fade away G D Old worn out saddles old worn out G D A7 D Memories with no one and no place to stay G D My heroes have always been cowboys E7 A7 And they still are it seems G D G Sadly in search of but one step in back of D A7 D Themselves and their slow moving dreams---- End
