The Cowboy's Song

Intro: C G F F C G C C Pushin horns weren't easy F C like the movie says it was C I don't remember dance hall girls G Or hotel rooms with rugs C You worked hot and tired and nasty F C Rode your pony's head too low G And all them nights you couldn't sleep F Cause it was too damn cold C G C And we sing Strawberry Roan, Little Joe C Like the time we hit the river F C And the rain begun to fall C The water risin' so damn fast G We thought it'd drown us all C Now we lost a lot of steers that day F C And four or five good mounts G But when all the boys rode into camp F We knew that's what counts C G C And we sang, yippie ti yi yay, Amazing Grace C Or the night they broke behind us F C And they took us by surprise C I whistled out to Bonner G I saw the terror in his eyes C And he rode for all his horse would ride F C And I know he done his best G But he crossed over Jordan F Ridin' Dunny to his death C G C And we sang, Bringing in the Sheaves and The Rugged Cross C F C C G C A D D When you see the cowboy G D He's not ragged by his choice D And he never meant to bow them legs A Or put that gravel in his voice D Just chasin' what he really loves G D What's burnin' in his soul A G Wishin' to hell that he'd been born a hundred years ago D A D Still singin' Strawberry Roan and Little Joe A D still singin' Strawberry Roan... and Little Joe D G D D A D
