Chords for Michael Martin Murphey - Cowboy Logic

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ Let's [N] get number one son back out here for the last song.
What do you [D] say?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ wanted _ _ _ _ to say [C#] by the way Wallace McCray who's the head of the Montana Stockman's [Dm] Association wrote that poem and _
_ _ _ _ [E] Whenever you hear that kind of thing you realize that
_ Western people just have a different way of thinking about [D] things _
Which _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] brings me to this next song about the cognitive _ powers of [D] Cowboys _ _ _
There's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a great American hero
_ [Em] We all look up to
_ [A] When times are hard and chips are down.
He knows just what to [D] do _ _ _
_ _ Now _ cowboys got a set of [G] rules that he [Em] lives by day [G] to day
_ [A] And if y'all ask for his advice, he'll more than [Em]
likely [D] say
_ If _ [Bm] _
[C#] [D] it's a fence
_ Mend it if [Em] it's a dollar bill
_ [Bm] Spend it
[A] Before it burns a hole down in [D] them jeans
_ [A] If _ _ [D] it's a load _
Truck _ [G] if it's a punch _ _
Duck it [A] _ _ if it's a lady _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Treat _ _ _ _ [Em] her like a queen
_ _ [G] _ That's cowboy logic
_ _ Every _ [D] cowboys got [Am] [Dm] it
[D] _ _ It's [A] in the way he lives his life and the [D] songs he sings
[Dm] _ [Am] _ That's cowboy [G]
[A] logic
_ [G] _ _ Every [D] cowboys got it
_ Hey, [A] you've got a simple solution for just [E] about [D] _
anything
Tell him son.
_ It's a job _ do it
[G] Put your back into it
Cause [A] a little dirt wash off [D] in the rain
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] If it's a horse
_ Ride it and [G] if it hurts
_ _ Hide it.
[Em] Well dust yourself off and get back on [D]
again
_ _ _ That's [A] [G] cowboy logic
_ _ _ Every [D] cowboys got it
_ _ _ [F#m] It's [A] in the way he lives his life son the [D] songs he sings
_ [Dm] _ [Am] _ That's cowboy [G] logic
[A] _ [G] _ _ Every [D] cowboys got it
_ _ _ He's [A] got a simple solution for just [Em] about [D]
anything
_ _ Well _ this old cowboy and this young cowboy was [G#] working [Em] and he was out riding fence
_ And [A]
the old man was testing the kid on his working skills and common sense
[Dm] _ He [Am] said son if there was three men riding in a pickup truck dressed exactly alike from boot to hat _
_ Could you tell which one was the real cowboy just from where he sat?
_ _ _ [D] _
[B] Well the kids [G] crashed his head a while and he said _
Well, there just ain't no way to know _
[A] The old man said son. _
I just shows you got a long long way to go _
_ The _ _ real cowboy has got to be the one in the middle _ _ and he ain't just there by [G] fate
_ _ [A] Because _ _ first of all, he don't have to drive _ and _ second _ he don't have [E] to mess with the gate _ _ _
That's [D] _ _ _ [Gm] cowboy logic
_ [G] _ _ Every cowboy
[D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] It's _ [A] in _
_ The life and the songs [D] he sings
_ _ That's [G] cowboy logic
_ _ _ Every _ [D] cowboys got it
_ _ _ He's got [A] a simple solution just about [D] anything
_ _ _ He's got [A] a simple solution just about [D]
