Brooks Garth - The Cowboy Song 2 guitar tab

Subject: The Cowboy song by Garth Brooks

D D G D

Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movie said it was

D A

A7

and I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs.

D

You worked hot and tired and nasty,

G D

rode your pony's head too low.

A

There were all the nights you couldn't sleep

G

cause it was too damn cold;

D A D

and you'd sing "Strawberry Roan and "Little Joe".

D D G D

Like the time we hit the river and the rain began to fall;

D A

A7

and the water was risin' so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all.

D G D

We lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts.

A G

But when all the boys rode into camp we knew that's what counts;

D A D

and we sang "Yippee Tiyiyay" amd "Amazing Grace";

Bm G D

or the night they broke behind us and then took us by surprise.

D A A7

I whistled out to Bonner I seen the terror in his eyes.

D D7 G

D

And he rode for all his horse would ride and I know he done his best.

A G

But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death.

D A

D

And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross".

D D G D

So when you see the cowboy he's not ragged by his choice.

D A

A7

He never meant to bow those legs or put that gravel in his voice.

D G

D

He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burnin' in his soul.

A G

Wishin' to God that he'd been born a hundred years ago.

D A D

Still singin' "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe".

This sounds right to me. Enjoy! toughjeep@aol.com
