When Cowboys Didn't Dance Chords

(ver. 1)
Lonestar
INTRO: Am

(The riff is made up of three notes: open 5th string A note, open 6th
string
E note and 6th string, 3rd fret G note)

Am                                             F
Seven hundred heads of cattle, an old forgotten trail

G                                            Am
Six cowboys, one old man and another day of hell

Am                                    F
(...) lagging behind from the strain of a broken wheel

G                                                   E
The only thing to look forward to is a campfire and a meal

Am (repeat riff)

Am                                                   F
Sleeping 'neath an open sky, with just stars above their heads

G                                          Am
I'd settle for a pillow and some sagebrush for a bed

Am                                  F
Waking up tomorrow was merely done by chance

G                                                E
Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance

                         C                    G                 Dm
CHORUS: When cowboys didn't dance, didn't wear designer shirts

                             F
               And their hearts were filled with memories

                       E
               Their bodies filled with hurt

                                C                     G
               They would sit around the campfire

                          Dm
               And exchange a piercing glance

              F                                                E           
        Am
              Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance.

Am (repeat riff)

Am                                                 F
Pour coffee from an old tin cup, more sweat upon the brow

G                                      Am
Another day of chasing that same old lonely cow

Am                                F
And every new horizon began a brand new day

G                                        E
Thirteen hundred miles to go, slowly made their way

Am                                                    F
Across the plains of Texas through the Colorado snow

G                       E
Final destination, Blackfoot, Idaho

CHORUS

CHORUS

Am                                             F
Seven hundred heads of cattle, an old forgotten trail

G                                            Am
Five cowboys, one old man and another day of hell
