performed by Willie Nelson
This song is in 3/4 time. It sounds best if you hit the bass note of the
chord on the first beat of each measure. You might want to put in some bass
runs like A-B-C#-D between A and D chords where it sounds right.
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy G D And loving the cowboy ways D Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes E7 A7 I burned up my childhood days D I learned all the rules of a modern day drifter G D Don't you hold on to nothing too long G D G Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them D A7 D With 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 and 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 D You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightman E7 A7 Knowing well that your best days are gone D Picking up hookers instead of my pen G D I let the words of my youth fade away G D G Old worn out saddles and old worn out memories D A7 D 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 and one step in back of D A7 D Themselves and their slow moving dreams G D G Sadly in search of and one step in back of D A7 D Themselves and their slow moving dreams
