Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys - Willie Nelson
Chorus:
D G
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
A7 D
make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
D G
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A
they'll never stay home and they're always alone
A7 D
even with someone they love
D G
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
A A7 D
and they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
D
Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis and each night
G
begins a new day
A
and if you don't understand him and he don't die young
A7 D
he'll probably just ride away
Repeat chorus
(keychange)
E A
A cowboy loves smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
B B7 E
little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
E
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do sometimes
A
won't know how to take him
B
he's not wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him
B7 E
do things to make you think he's right
Repeat chorus ad infinitum or something :-)
