Chorus
8 9 9 9 9 9-10 9
Mam-mas, don't let your b-a-b-ies
8 7 7 -8 6 -6
grow up to be cow-boys,
8 -9 -9 -9 -9 -8
Don't let them pick gui-tars
-8 -7 -7 -7-6 6
and drive them old trucks.
9 9 9 -10 9 9 -10 9 8 -8
Let them be doc-tors and law-yers and such.
8 9 9 9 9 9-10 9
Mam-mas, don't let your b-a-bies
8 7 7 -8 7 -5
grow up to be cow-boys.
-5 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9
'Cause they'll nev-er stay home
8 -8 -7 -7 -6 -7-6 6
and they're al-ways a-l-o-ne
9 9 9 -10 9 -9 8-8 7
e-ven with some-one they l-o-ve.
verse 1
9 9 9 -10 9 -9 8
Cow-boys ain't eas-y to love,
8 8 -9 8 -6 -6 7
and they're hard-er to ho-ld.
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -8 7
They'd rath-er give you a song
7 -7 -6 6 6
than dia-monds or gold,
9 9 9 9 8
Lone Star belt buck-les,
8 8 8 8 -9 8
and old, fad-ed Le-vis;
-6 -6 7 7 -8 7 7 7 7-6
And each night be-gins a new day.
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -8
If you don't un-der-stand him
-8 -7 -7 -7-6 -7 -6
and he don't die young,
6 6 -7 -8 -9 8-9 8 -8 7
he'll prob-a-bly just r-ide a-way
