[A]
[D]
Pushing horns weren't easy like [G] the movie said it [D] was
And I don't recall no dance hall, girls or [A] hotel rooms with ruffs
You [D] work hot and tired and nasty, you [G] rolled your ponies head [D] too low
And they were all the nights you [E] couldn't sleep
[G] Cause it was too damn cold and you'd [D] sing strawberry [A] roll in a [D] little joke
Like the time we hit the river and [G] the rains began to [D] fall
And the water was rising so damn fast [Am] we thought [Em] it drowned us [A] all
[D] We lost a lot of steers that [G] day and four or five [D] goodin' mouths
But when all the [A] boys rode into camp [G] we knew that's what counts
And we sang [D] yippee [A]-tie-yi-yay in [D] amazing grace
[Bm] Oh the night that broke [F#m] behind us [G] and it took us by surprise
[D]
[Bm] I whistled out [F#m] to Bonner, I [G] seen the terror in [A] his eyes
And [D] he rode for all his horse for bride [G] and I know he done his best
[E] But [D] he crossed [A] over Jordan, bride [G] and donny to his [A] death
And we [D] sang bringing in [A] the sheep and the rugged [D] cross
[G]

[A] [D]
So when you see the cowboy [G] he's not wrecked by his [D] choice
He never meant to bow them legs or [E] put that gravel in his [A] voice
[C#] He's [D] just chasing what he really loves and [G] what's burning in his [D] soul
Wishing to God [A] that he'd been born [G] a hundred years ago
Still [D] singing strawberry [A] roll in a little [D] joke
