VERSE:
       C
Daddy watched John Wayne on a corduroy couch
   Am                                   C
I didn't know Texas from a hole in the ground
                  C
But it roped me in,
                Am
That's where it all began
 
   C
A stick was a rifle, a bullet was a rock
     Am
The good guys won and the bad guys lost
    C
We climbed them trees,
         Am
We were wild and free
 
Dm         Am               F
Me and my buddies ran that town
 
 
CHORUS:
         C
We were cowboys
         Am
Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
         C
We were cowboys
 
 Am                         C
Didn't know nothing but we knew everything
 
    Dm                               C
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
     F
But man, we were something
 
C       Am
 
 
VERSE:
             C
Well when I turned sixteen my saddle was the front seat
C
Of that 1993 Silverado
      Am      C
On a dirt road
 
       C
I was Eastwood cool with a Marlboro Red
 C
Aztec blanket in an eight foot bed
 
Earnin' braggin' rights,
       Am           C
Every Saturday night
 
      Dm                        Am               F
Them small town girls couldn't help but fall for us
 
 
CHORUS:
         C
We were cowboys
         G                     C
Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
         C
We were cowboys
 
 Am                         C
Didn't know nothing but we knew everything
 
    Dm                               C
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
     F                       C                  Am  G
But man, we were something, yeah      yeah, yeah
C              F            Dm
We were cowboys
 
 
BREAK:
         C
We were cowboys
         Am
Jumpin' barbed wire fences and ropin' the wind
         C
We were cowboys
      Am
Naw, ain't a thing changed since we were kids
 
 
CHORUS:
         C
We were cowboys
         C
Runnin' like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
         C
We were cowboys
 
 Am                         C
Didn't know nothing but we knew everything
 
    Dm                               C
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
     F
But man, we were something
 
Wouldn't change nothing
 Dm
Couldn't tell us nothing, 'cause man, we were something
 F                     C       Am
Damn, we were something
