Aaron Watson – Cant Be A Cowboy Forever (Ukulele)

    Am                       C
Now he don't expect her to stay true to him

    Am                       C
and she never says that she will

     Am                     C
but he's got a first love that just might kill him

     Am                             C
and she knows he's hooked on the thrill

      C                          C
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more

          C                        C
for the fever that drives him to just run its course

      Em                         C                       C
she talks to that picture they took their last night together

           C          D        C             C          D       Am
Says you can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.

    Am                       C                            Am     
Sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts, more than it did 

    C
yesterday.

     Am                           C                         Am    
But she knows his voice, and he still sounds determined, to do whatever it 

  C
takes.

     C                           C                             C
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more, for the fever that 

                C
drives him to just run its course

       Em                          C                       C
the whiskey he drinks said some things last spring that upset her.

         C           D       C             C           D      Am
But he can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.

      Am                             C
Then one night he shows up, and he says what's for dinner

      Am                      C
with that cocky grin on his face.

     Am                          C
the way that she smiled and the way that she held him

  Am                     C
told him he wasn't too late.

    Em                       C                            C
As she closed her eyes, and he slipped that ring on her finger.

           C           D      C
Said you can't be a cowboy forever,

         C           D      C
No you can't be a cowboy forever,

         C           D      Am
No you can't be a cowboy forever.
