Cowboys they are ladies men alright
B7 E7
They can love ’em up and talk ’em up all night
Am A D
But they’re lonely when there’s nothin’ else to do
A E A
That’s what makes the cowboys sing the blues

[Verse 1]
D
He does a little Waddie and he sings
B7 E E7
He plays the mandolin and other things
A D
He looks for love, beauty and IQ
A E A
That’s what makes the cowboys sing the blues

[Verse 2]

E D A
Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit
E D A
Let their hearts hang out, so they can write you all a hit
D
So ladies if they ask you don’t refuse
A E A
Let’s all help the cowboys sing the blues

[Chorus]

A D
Cowboys they don’t ever understand
B7 E A
This thing between a woman and a man
D
Until they love the one they always lose
A E A
That’s what makes the cowboys sing the blues

[Verse 3]

E D A
Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit
E D A
Let their hearts hang out, so they can write you all a hit
D
So ladies if they ask you don’t refuse
A E D
Let’s all help the cowboys sing the blues

[Outro]
