[Intro]
G Bm A Em F#m G
[Verse 1]
G Bm A
If I was a cowboy I′d wake before sunrise
Em F#m G
To watch the west mountains turn pink
Bm A
I’d kiss your cheek softly as you make
Em F#m G
The coffee as black as old Indian ink
[Verse 2]
G Bm A
If I was a cowboy I′d love you forever
Em F#m G
By desert stars all the night through
Bm A
But through the heat waves, can he read all
Em
The shame on my face,
F#m G
see me shake in my boots?
[Chorus]
A
She’d take me by the hand as if it’s all okay
Bm G A
C′mon cowboy, c′mon cowboy
A
Say you wouldn’t have it any other way
Bm G A
C′mon cowboy, c’mon cowboy
A
Barely there when you′re begging me to stay
Em F#m
Come on cowboy, can’t leave now boy just
G D A
Ride this out, boy, don′t be so afraid
[Verse 3]
G Bm A
If I was a cowboy I’d movе to West Texas
Em F#m G
On five hundrеd acres of land
Bm A
Buy us two horses and plot our life’s courses
Em F#m G
As they plod their hooves in the sand
[Verse 4]
G Bm A
If I was a cowboy I′d kill
someone awful
Em F#m G
And bury him out on the ranch
Bm A
By the light of the evening I′d put
up my shovel
Em F#m G
And wash all the blood off my hands
[Chorus]
A
But she’d take ′em up in yours
as if they aren’t stained
Bm G
C′mon cowboy, c’mon cowboy
A
Say you wouldn′t have it any other way
Bm G A
C’mon cowboy, c’mon cowboy
A
Barely there when you′re begging me to stay
Em F#m
Come on cowboy, can′t leave now boy just
G A
Ride this out like a good old cowboy
Em F#m
Come on cowboy, come on cowboy
G A
Come on cowboy, come on cowboy
Em F#m
Come on cowboy, come on cowboy
G A D
Come on cowboy, come on now
[Guitar Solo]
D Bm G D Bm G D
Bm G D Bm Em
[Outro]
G Bm
She said, “I don’t need a cowboy
Em
I need my best friend who loves me
F#m D
as best as he can
G Bm
But if you wanna play cowboy
F#m Em
You can ride off like Pancho
F#m Em
and lose some beautiful plans
