Chords

[Intro] D [Verse 1]
N.C.                                             G
Cowboys ain’t easy to love and they’re harder to hold

         A                                   D
They’d rather give you a song than diamonds or gold

D                                               G
Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levi’s and each night begins a new day

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

                         D
He’ll probably just ride away
[Chorus]
D                                            G
So 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
Cowboys like smokey ol’ 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
It ain’t wrong, it’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       N.C.
Mamas don’t let your cowboys grow up to be babies, I meant what I said

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

                       D
Even with someone they love
[Outro]
              A
Yeah, they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone

                       D
Even with someone they love
(play hard strums, let D fade) D G A D
