Chords for Jimmy Dean - The Cowboy's Prayer (Christmas).

[N] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ I'm not much good at praying, and [G] you might not know me, Lord, because I ain't [C] much seen
in churches where [Am] they preach your [F] holy word. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ I guess you might have seen me [B] out here on
these [Bb] lonely [A] plains looking [C] after cattle and feeling thankful when [F] it rains, _ _ _ _ _ admiring thy
great [C] handiwork, the miracle of grass, _ _ _ [Ab] aware of thy kind spirit and the way it comes to pass,
that _
[Bb] hard men [F] on horseback and the livestock that we [Gm] tend, _ _ _ we can [Am] look up at the stars at [F] night
and know we got a friend. _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, _ [F] here's old Christmas coming on, reminding us [Bb] again of
him [Ab] who's coming brought [Bm] _ goodwill [F] into the hearts of men. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Now, _ _ a cowboy ain't [F] no preacher, Lord,
_ _ but if you'd just hear my [Dm] prayer, I'll [Bb] ask as good as what [F] we've got for all men [Gm] everywhere. _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
Don't let no hearts be [Bb] bitter, Lord. _
Let no child be cold.
[C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ Make easy beds for them that's [Bb] sick and
them [Cm] that's weak and old.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
Let kindness bless the [Gm] trail we [Cm] ride, _
_ [Bb] no matter what we're after, and _
_ _ _ [Dm] sort of keep [Ab] us by your [Gm] side in tears as well as laughter. _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ Now, I've [A] seen old cows are starving,
and it [Bb] ain't no [Cm] happy [Bb] sight, _ _ [F] [C] so [F] please leave no one hungry, [A] Lord, on this [Eb] thy Christmas [Bb] night.
_ _ [B] No man, no [Bb] child, no woman, no critter on four feet, _ and I aim to do the best [Gm] I can to help [Bb] you
find them [F] chuffed to eat.
_ _ _ _ Now, I'm just a lowly cowpoke, Lord, and I've got no [Bb] business praying.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ Still, I [C] hope [Am] you'll hear a word or two of what it [Bb] is I'm saying. _ _ _ _ _
[C] We speak of Merry Christmas,
[F] Lord. _
I think that you'll agree that _ [Bb]
there can't be a Merry Christmas for a man if he [F] ain't free.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm]
So, _ [Gm] _ one thing [Eb] [F] more I'll ask you, Lord, _ _ _ just [Bb] help us what you [F] can
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] to save some seeds of freedom _ for the future sons of man. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
