[Bb]
A cowboy's an easy love and [Eb] hard to hold.
[F] He'd rather give you a song than [Bb] diamonds or gold.
Lone star-belt buckles and old fairy Levi's, and each night begins a [Eb] new day.
[F] If you don't understand him, and he don't die young, he will probably just [Bb] ride away.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be [Eb] cowboys.
Don't [F] let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks.
Let them be doctors and [Bb] lawyers and such.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be [Eb] cowboys.
[F] Cause they'll never [C] stay home, and [F] they're always alone, even with [Cm] someone [Bb] they love.

And things will make you think [Bb] he's right.
