Dub Miller - 21St Century Cowboy Chords

A                                 D
He wakes up every morning, long before the sun comes up
       A                                            B7              E7
And he puts his coffee on the cluttered dash of his mid size pickup truck
          A                            D
The south open pens at daylight, hired cowboys are on the way
          E                                                          A
Well they may not look like Lonesome Dove but get’s the job done the same


Chorus 1
           D             E    A
And he’s a cowboy in the 21st century
         D                 E               A
And he’s learned to do his job a different way
D                         E            A           A/G#       F#m
When he was younger he would ride the broncs, now he sits in his pickup and honks
         D                      E             A
Cause he knows the cows will be coming either way

A                                 D
He’s known a few good horses and some dogs along the way
A                                            B7              E7
Now he’s got a brand new four wheeled pet and Suzuki is it’s name
          A                            D
You don’t have to saddle or shoe it or feed it any hay
       E                                                          A
You just put a gallon of gas in the girl, she’ll ride good everyday

Chorus 2
 D             E    A
And he’s a cowboy in the 21st century
         D                 E               A
And he’s learned to do his job a different way
   D                         E              A           A/G#       F#m
When he was younger he would ride the broncs, now he sits in his pickup and honks
         D                      E             A
Cause he knows the cows will be coming either way

A                                 D
He pays it all in taxes, what his calves bring a sale
A                                            B7              E7
And all his cowboy’s wives live in Mexico and they keep in touch by mail
          A                            D
As for him his family’s home now and he knows that’s all he needs
       E                                                          A
But sometimes he feels like he’s stuck inside a cartoon of Ace Reid

Chorus 3
           D             E    A
And he’s a cowboy in the 21st century
         D                 E               A
And he’s learned to do his job a different way
            D                         E              A           A/G#       F#m
When he was younger he would ride the broncs, now he sits in his pickup and honks
         D                      E             A
Cause he knows the cows will be coming either way

A                                 D
He’s switched from boots to Nikes, cause they’re easier on his feet
A                                            B7              E7
And has a lot less beer these days but he’s still eats too many sweets
          A                            D
And the cattle markets down but the hunters still come so I guess he’d doing well
       E                                                          A
It ain’t easy getting by as a rancher these days, hey old man give ‘em hell

Chorus:
           D             E    A
And he’s a cowboy in the 21st century
         D                 E               A
And he’s learned to do his job a different way
            D                         E              A           A/G#       F#m
When he was younger he would ride the broncs, now he sits in his pickup and honks
         D                      E             A
Cause he knows the cows will be coming either way
