Dub Miller - 21st Century Cowboy guitar chord

21st Century Cowboy

Dub Miller

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:

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

He’s known a few good horses and some dogs along the way

Now he’s got a brand new four wheeled pet and Suzuki is it’s name

You don’t have to saddle or shoe it or feed it any hay

You just put a gallon of gas in the girl, she’ll ride good everyday

Chorus

He pays it all in taxes, what his calves bring a sale

And all his cowboy’s wives live in Mexico and they keep in touch by mail

As for him his family’s home now and he knows that’s all he needs

But sometimes he feels like he’s stuck inside a cartoon of Ace Reid

Chorus

He’s switched from boots to Nikes, cause they’re easier on his feet

And has a lot less beer these days but he’s still eats too many sweets

And the cattle markets down but the hunters still come so I guess he’d doing well

It ain’t easy getting by as a rancher these days, hey old man give ‘em hell

Chorus
