Chris LeDoux – Cowboy Up (Guitar)

G
I was a new kid on the circuit

G    C
Gold buckles in my eyes

C       D
But the horse I drew was plenty rank

C          G
Much to my surprise

G
I did a double back flip

C
And landed on my head

         D
This old cowboy limped out in the arena

       C           G
Leaned over me and said

G                C
You gotta cowboy up

C                    G
When you get throwed down

G   D
Get right back in the saddle

   G
As soon as you hit the ground

    C
You heard that the tough get goin'

G                   C
When the goin' gets tough

G
Around here what we say is

D                     G
Boy you better cowboy up

G
By the end of my last season

     C
They said I was among the best

     D
So I proudly called a girl back home

C                     G
Hopin' she would be impressed

G
But her momma said she married a guy

C
That I used to call my friend

    D
But before the first tear could fall

                      G
These words came back again

G                C
You gotta cowboy up

C                    G
When you get throwed down

        D
You get right back in the saddle

   G
As soon as you hit the ground

    C
You heard that the tough get goin'

G                   C
When the goin' gets tough

G
Around here what we say is

D                     G
Boy you better cowboy up

D
Well its not an easy lesson

   C                 G
To learn in life and love

A
But its the only way to go

D            C        D
Whenever you bite the dust

G                C
You gotta cowboy up

C                    G
When you get throwed down

        D
You get right back in the saddle

   G                   G7
As soon as you hit the ground

    C
You heard that the tough get goin'

G                   C
