[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
