Chords

Recorded by Waylon Jennings (Circa 1996) Written by Sharon Vaughn Key of D, with no capo to play along with the youtube video. In 3/4 time Note; a GREAT pub/campfire song! [Verse 1]
D
I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy

G                 D
Loving the cowboy ways
Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes
  E7                     A7
I burned up my childhood days

  D
I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter

          G                     D
Don't you hold onto nothing too long

     G                           D
Just take what you need from the ladies

     G              D          A7          D
Then leave them the words of a sad country song
[Chorus]
    G                       D
My heroes have always been cowboys

E7                    A7
And they still are it seems

G                   D               G
Sadly in search of  but one step in back of

    D                A7          D
Themselves and their slow moving dreams
[Verse 2]
D 
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery

     G               D
From being alone too long

    G                                        D
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare

        E7                      A7
Knowing well your best days are gone

D
Picking up hookers instead of my pen

      G                          D
I let the words of my years fade away

    G                    D
Old worn out saddles old worn out

   G          D          A7          D
Memories with no one and no place to stay
[Chorus]
    G                       D
My heroes have always been cowboys

E7                    A7
And they still are it seems

G                   D               G
Sadly in search of  but one step in back of

    D                A7          D
Themselves and their slow moving dreams
