Dub Miller – 21st Century Cowboy chords

 A                                 DHe wakes up every morning, long before the sun comes up
       A                                            B7              E7And he puts his coffee on the cluttered dash of his mid size pickup truck
          A                            DThe south open pens at daylight, hired cowboys are on the way
          E                                                          AWell they may not look like Lonesome Dove but get’s the job done the same

A                                            B7              E7Now he’s got a brand new four wheeled pet and Suzuki is it’s name
          A                            DYou don’t have to saddle or shoe it or feed it any hay
       E                                                          AYou just put a gallon of gas in the girl, she’ll ride good everyday

A                                            B7              E7And all his cowboy’s wives live in Mexico and they keep in touch by mail
          A                            DAs for him his family’s home now and he knows that’s all he needs
