Eddy Arnold - Cowboy Chords

C
The skies are dark and gray


For a week now its been raining everyday
 

And again Kan - sas City Kid


Is on the couch still trying to rope the stray 


          G7
Well he's Crocket and he's Custer


And he's Hickok's right hand man


He's trying to tame the west


But mom don't seem to understand


          F
And she's told him to get ready

                           G7
Cause its for the time for bed

F                        G7
And how he wises he were free


Cause he was simply born to be

  C
A cow---boy 



Asleep he rides the range


On a saddle that has seen its better days


And hear the coyotes call


They sing the sun to rest as evening falls


      G7
We'll make a pot of coffee boys
 

So strong you taste the grain


Stretch out on your blanket
 

As he clears his throat to sing


F
Keep you eyes upon him 

                     G7
With his Gary Cooper grin

F                    G7
It doesn't take much sense to see 


That he was simply born to be

  C
A cow---boy



This concrete city's fenced him in

F                              C
Can't win 'em all but he'll be on his feet again


He'll ride his fantasies till then

F                                            G7
Don't he take after me he was simply born to be
 
  C
A cow---boy 


C
The skies are dark and gray


For a week now it's been raining everyday 


And again  Kan - sas City Kid


Is all tucked in and dreaming of the range

   
A cow---boy   a cow---boy
