1: Starin' at the south end of north bound cattle

                  C#m        B
   Slavin' in the saddle all day

          E         E/G#         A            F#
   You've got to be some kind of natural born fool

      E/B               B    A    E   B
   To want to live your life this way

   E         E/G#  A    E               C#m   F#m  B
So what am I doing here Lord, what am I doing here

C#m                       G#m
Sometimes I wonder in the lightning and the thunder

     A             B     E      G#7
If a cowboy's even got a prayer

    C#m                          G#m
And why'd you have to make it so hard down here

     F#7                          B
When things are so much better up there

3: Now the Lord called his angels all around the throne Said boys I must be wastin' my time 'Cause I thought I gave the cowboy a pretty good life Now he's complaining 'till the day he dies repeat chorus twice
