Don Edwards – The Cowboys Song chords

Chords:
Transpose:
G7 and A7 can be played instead of G and A, which I'm pretty sure is how he
plays it. He also throws in a lot of Xsus chords intermitantly throughout
the song, along with a sort of Travis style finger picking. Enjoy!

Don Edwards - The Cowboy's Song

Intro: C G F F C G C

C Pushin horns weren't easy
F Clike the movie says it was
CI don't remember dance hall girls
GOr hotel rooms with rugs
CYou worked hot and tired and nasty
F CRode your pony's head too low
GAnd all them nights you couldn't sleep
FCause it was too damn cold
C G CAnd we sing Strawberry Roan, Little Joe
CLike the time we hit the river
F CAnd the rain begun to fall
CThe water risin' so damn fast
GWe thought it'd drown us all
CNow we lost a lot of steers that day
F CAnd four or five good mounts
GBut when all the boys rode into camp
FWe knew that's what counts
C G CAnd we sang, yippie ti yi yay, Amazing Grace
COr the night they broke behind us
F CAnd they took us by surprise
CI whistled out to Bonner
GI saw the terror in his eyes
CAnd he rode for all his horse would ride
F CAnd I know he done his best
GBut he crossed over Jordan
FRidin' Dunny to his death
C G CAnd we sang, Bringing in the Sheaves and The Rugged Cross
C F C C G C A D
DWhen you see the cowboy
G DHe's not ragged by his choice
DAnd he never meant to bow them legs
AOr put that gravel in his voice
DJust chasin' what he really loves
G DWhat's burnin' in his soul
A GWishin' to hell that he'd been born a hundred years ago
D A DStill singin' Strawberry Roan and Little Joe
A Dstill singin' Strawberry Roan... and Little Joe
D G D D A D
