Chords

[Verse 1]
    Em                       D
Now he don't expect her to stay true to him

    Em                       D
and she never says that she will

     Em                     D
but he's got a first love that just might kill him

     Em                             D
and she knows he's hooked on the thrill

      G                          D
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more

          G                        D
for the fever that drives him to just run its course

      Bm                         D                       G
she talks to that picture they took their last night together
[Chorus]
           D          A        G             D          A       Em
Says you can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.
[Verse 2]
    Em                       D                            Em                 D
Sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts, more than it did yesterday.

     Em                           D                         Em               D
But she knows his voice, and he still sounds determined, to do whatever it takes.

     G                           D                             G                       D
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more, for the fever that drives him to just run its course

       Bm                          D                       G
the whiskey he drinks said some things last spring that upset her.
[Chorus]
         D           A       G             D           A      Em
But he can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.
[Instrumental] [Verse 3]
      Em                             D
Then one night he shows up, and he says what's for dinner

      Em                      D
with that cocky grin on his face.

     Em                          D
the way that she smiled and the way that she held him

  Em                     D
told him he wasn't too late.

    Bm                       D                            G
As she closed her eyes, and he put that ring on her finger.
[Chorus]
           D           A      G
Said you can't be a cowboy forever,

         D           A      G
No you can't be a cowboy forever,

         D           A      Em
No you can't be a cowboy forever.
