Don Edwards – The Cowboys Song chords
Chords:
G7 and A7 can be played instead of G and A, which I'm pretty sure is how he plays it. He also throws in a lot of Xsus chords intermitantly throughout the song, along with a sort of Travis style finger picking. Enjoy! Don Edwards - The Cowboy's Song Intro: C G F F C G CC Pushin horns weren't easyF Clike the movie says it wasCI don't remember dance hall girlsGOr hotel rooms with rugsCYou worked hot and tired and nastyF CRode your pony's head too lowGAnd all them nights you couldn't sleepFCause it was too damn coldC G CAnd we sing Strawberry Roan, Little JoeCLike the time we hit the riverF CAnd the rain begun to fallCThe water risin' so damn fastGWe thought it'd drown us allCNow we lost a lot of steers that dayF CAnd four or five good mountsGBut when all the boys rode into campFWe knew that's what countsC G CAnd we sang, yippie ti yi yay, Amazing GraceCOr the night they broke behind usF CAnd they took us by surpriseCI whistled out to BonnerGI saw the terror in his eyesCAnd he rode for all his horse would rideF CAnd I know he done his bestGBut he crossed over JordanFRidin' Dunny to his deathC G CAnd we sang, Bringing in the Sheaves and The Rugged CrossC F C C G C A DDWhen you see the cowboyG DHe's not ragged by his choiceDAnd he never meant to bow them legsAOr put that gravel in his voiceDJust chasin' what he really lovesG DWhat's burnin' in his soulA GWishin' to hell that he'd been born a hundred years agoD A DStill singin' Strawberry Roan and Little JoeA Dstill singin' Strawberry Roan... and Little JoeD G D D A D
