Subject: The Cowboy song by Garth Brooks
D D G D
Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movie said it was
D A
A7
and I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs.
D
You worked hot and tired and nasty,
G D
rode your pony's head too low.
A
There were all the nights you couldn't sleep
G
cause it was too damn cold;
D A D
and you'd sing "Strawberry Roan and "Little Joe".
D D G D
Like the time we hit the river and the rain began to fall;
D A
A7
and the water was risin' so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all.
D G D
We lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts.
A G
But when all the boys rode into camp we knew that's what counts;
D A D
and we sang "Yippee Tiyiyay" amd "Amazing Grace";
Bm G D
or the night they broke behind us and then took us by surprise.
D A A7
I whistled out to Bonner I seen the terror in his eyes.
D D7 G
D
And he rode for all his horse would ride and I know he done his best.
A G
But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death.
D A
D
And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross".
D D G D
So when you see the cowboy he's not ragged by his choice.
D A
A7
He never meant to bow those legs or put that gravel in his voice.
D G
D
He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burnin' in his soul.
A G
Wishin' to God that he'd been born a hundred years ago.
D A D
Still singin' "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe".
This sounds right to me. Enjoy! [email protected]
