***************** LET'S ALL HELP THE COWBOY SING THE BLUES **************** Written and performed by Waylon Jennings. [Intro] C/G [Verse 1]
C/G                           F
Cowboys they are ladies men alright

      D7                             G7
They love 'em up and talk 'em up all night

            C/G                                 F
But they're lonely when there's nothin' else to do

G7                                     C/G
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

   C/G                               F
He does a little Shakespeare and he sings

   D7                           G7
He plays the mandolin and other things

   C/G                         F
He looks for love, beauty and I.Q.

    G7                                     C/G
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
[Chorus]
G                                 F                 C/G
Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit

G                                     F                C/G
Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit

   C/G                              F
So ladies if they ask you, don't refuse

C/G                 G7              C/G
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues
[Instrumental] C/G F D7 G7 C/G F G7 C/G [Verse 2]
C/G                           F
Cowboys they don't ever understand

     D7                           G7
This thing between a woman and a man

  C/G                                F
Until they find the one they always lose

G7                                     C/G
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

  C/G                             F
A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand

D7                          G7
Tries to make somebody understand

 C/G                             F
She has ears to hear a different tune

G7                                     C/G
That's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
[Chorus]
G                                 F                 C/G
Cowboys have to fall in love, get hurt and all that bit

G                                     F                C/G
Let their hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit

   C/G                              F
So ladies if they ask you, don't refuse

C/G                 G7              C/G
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues
