Willie Nelson – Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other (Guitar)

              A                      D                         A       A/C#
Well, there's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;

        E                                                A
There's many a young boy who feels things he can't comprehend.

      A                             D                      A       A/C#
And a small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes,

      E                                                       A
No, a small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.

        A                       D                          A
And I believe to my soul that inside every man there's the feminine,

      E                                                   A
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.

          A                     D                              A       A/C#
Well, the cowboy may brag about things that he's done with his women,

        E                                                       A
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.

D                                            A      A/C#
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other

     E                                                 A
Say, what do you think all them saddles and boots was about?

            D
And there's many a cowboy who don't understand 

                              A        A/C#
the way that he feels for his brother,

      E                                                    A
And inside every cowboy there's a lady that'd love to slip out.

            A                   D                         A
And there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper,

    E                                                    A
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:

            A                      D                       A       A/C#
So when you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister

          E                                                   A
You can't fuck with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.

D                                            A      A/C#

And inside every lady there's a cowboy who wants to come out.

      E                                                    A
