Chords

[Chorus]
D                                         G
[tab]      A
Don’t let ‘em pick guitars and drive them old trucks

                                    D
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such

D                                         G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys

               A
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone

                       D
Even with someone they love
[Verse 1]
D                                              G
A cowboy ain’t easy to love and he’s harder to hold

         A                                             D
It means more to him to give you a song than silver or gold

D                                            G
Big trophy buckles and salt-faded Levi’s and each night begins a new day

       A
If you can’t understand him and he don’t die young

                          D
He’ll probably just ride away
[Chorus]
D                                         G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys

      A
Don’t let ‘em pick guitars and drive them old trucks

                                    D
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such

D                                         G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys

               A
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone

                       D
Even with someone they love
[Verse 2]
D                                                      G
A cowboy loves smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings

A                                                 D
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night

D
Them that don’t know him won’t like him and them that do

G
Sometimes won’t know how to take him

         A
He’s not wrong, he’s just different,

                                                             D
and his pride won’t let him do things to make you think he’s right
[Chorus]
D                                         G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys

      A
Don’t let ‘em pick guitars and drive them old trucks

                                    D
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such

D                                         G
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys

               A
‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone

                       D
Even with someone they love
