Garth Brooks - The Cowboy Song

D D/F# G D
pushin’ horns weren’t easy like the movies said it was
A7sus4 A7
and i don’t recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs
D D/F# G D
you worked hot and tired and nasty rode you pony’s head too low
A7 G
there were all the nights you couldn’t sleep , cause it was too damn cold
D A7 D Dsus Dsus2 D
and you’d sing , strawberry roan and little joe

verse 2
D D/F# G D
like the time we hit the river and the rains began to fall
A7sus4 A7
and the water was rising so damn fast we thought it’d drown us all
D D/F# G D
we lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts
A7 G
but when all the boys rode into camp we knew that’s what counts
D A7 D Dsus Dsus2 D
and we sang , yippie ti yi yay and amazing grace

Bm A G D
or the night they broke behind us and then they took us by surprise
Bm A A7sus4 A7
i whistled out the bonner i seen the terror in his eyes
D D/F# G
and he rode for all his horse would ride and i know he done his best
D A7 G
but he crossed over jordan ridin’ dunny to his death
D A7 D Dsus Dsus2 D
and we sang , bringin’ in the sheaves and the rugged cross

instrumental solo

verse 3
D D/F# G D
so when you see that cowboy he’s not ragged by his choice
[ ch ] Asus7 [ /Ch ] A7
he never meant to bow them legs or put that gravel in his voice
D D/F# G D
he’s just chasin’ what he really loves and what’s burning in his soul
A7 G
wishin’ to god that he’d been born and hundred years ago
D A7 D Dsus Dsus2 D
still singin’ , strawberry roan and little joe
