In the days before radio and television, people had to entertain themselves.
[Fm] They'd sit on the front [F] porch or gather around the [Gb] piano in the parlor and sing songs that everyone knew.
[C] But for the men who made their [Gm] living in the great outdoors, it was a campfire.
[D]
Whether it was a [C] cattle drive, a mining camp, or a [D] railroad gang,
the hours between suppertime and [F] bedtime were spent in a circle around the fire.
There'd always be [Bb] a guitar or two, and maybe a fiddle or a harmonica,
[C] and they'd while away [Bb] the lonely hours, listening to the [Em] storytellers spin their yarns
and singing songs about the [F] lives they lived and the things they'd done.
Now the cowboy [C] was always a little different from everybody else.
[Ab] He had his own way of looking at things.
[Eb] [C] [F]
There's a great American hero [Bb] we all look up to
[F] [C] When the times are hard and the chips [G] are down, he knows just what to [F] do.
Now a cowboy's got a set of rules [Bb] he lives by day to day,
[C] and if you ask for his advice, he'll more than [F] likely say
If it's a fence, mint it.
If [Bb] it's a dollar bill, spend it.
[C] Before it burns a hole [F] down in them jeans.
If it's a load, truck it.
If it's a punch, duck it.
[C] If she's a lady, treat her like a [D] queen.
Now [Bb] that's cowboy logic, and every [F] cowboy's got it.
[C] It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he [F] sings.
That's [Bb] cowboy logic, and every [F] cowboy's got it.
[C] You got a simple solution to just [F] about anything.
[C]
[F] If it's a job, do it.
[Bb] Put your back into it.
[C] Cause a little bit of dirt's gonna wash off [F] in the rain.
If it's a horse, ride it.
[Bb] If it hurts, [C] dust yourself off and get back [F] on again.

[C] It's in the way he lives his life and the [F] songs he sings.

An old [D]
[G] cowboy and a young [C] buckaroo were working right in the fence.
[D] The old hand was testing the kid on his skills and on his common sense.
[G]
He said, son, if you see three men in a pickup dressed [C] alike from boots to hat,
could you tell [D] which one was the real cowboy just from where [G] he sat?
Well, the kid scratched his head for a little while,
and then he [C] said, well, there ain't no way to know.
[D] The old hand grinned, and then he said, [G] kid, you still got a ways to go.
[G] Now, the real cowboy's the one in the middle, [C] and he ain't there just by faith.
[D] But first of all, he don't have to drive, and then he don't have to open no gates.
That's [C] cowboy logic, and every [G] cowboy's got it.
It's [D] in the way he lives his life and the songs [G] he sings.
