[G] [D] [G] [C] [D]
[G] I bet you never [D] heard [C] old [D] Marshall Dillon [G] say,
[D] Miss Kitty, [C] have you ever [D] thought of running [G] away?
[D] [C] Settling down, [D] would you marry [G] me?
[D] If I [C] asked you [D] twice and begged you [G] pretty please,
[D] She'd have [C] said yes [D] in a New [G] York minute,
[D] But he never [C] tried to not, [D] [G] his heart wasn't in [D] it,
He just [C] stole a kiss [D] as he rode [G] away.
[D] He never [C] hung his hat up at Kitty's place.
[G] I should have been a cowboy,
[D]
[C] [D] I should have [G] learned to road [D]
[C] ride,
[D] [G] Wearing [D] my six [C]-shoe, riding [D] my pony [G] on a cattle [C] drive,
[D] Stealing [G] a young girl's [D] heart,
[C] [D] [G] Just [D] like [C] Jean and Roy,
[D] Singing [G] those [D] campfire [C] songs.
[D] Oh, I should have [G] been a cowboy.
[D]
[C] I [G] might have had [D] a [C] sidekick with a [D] funny name,
[G] Running wild [D] through the [E] hills [C] chasing [D] Jesse [G] James,
[D] Ending up on [C] the [D] brink of danger,
[G] Riding [D]
shotgun [C] for the Texas [D] Rangers.
[G] Go west, young man, [C] haven't you [D] been told,
[G] [D] California's full of [G] whiskey, [D] women and ghosts,
[G] Sleeping [D] out all night [C] beneath the [D] desert stars,
[G] [D] Dreaming my eye in [C] a prayer,
In my heart.
I should have [G] been a [D] cowboy,
[C] [D] I should have [G] learned to [D] road ride,
[C] [D] [G] Wearing [D] my six [C]-shoe, riding [D] my pony [G] on a cattle [D] [C] drive,
