Cowboy Chords

[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

[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
