Mamas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

D Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder Gto hold

AThey'd rather give you a song than diamoDnds or gold

Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each nGight begins a new day

If Ayou don't understand him and he don't die young

He'll probably just ride aDway

Chorus

DMamas don't let your babies grow up to be Gcowboys

Don't lAet them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

Make them be doctors and lawyers and sDuch

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cGowboys

They'll nAever stay home and they're always alone

Even with someone they lDove

Verse 2

(A tone higher)

E Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountainA mornings

LBittle warm puppies and children and girls of the nEight

Them that don't know him won't like him

And them that do sAometimes won't know how to take him

He aBin't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him

Do the things that make you think he's rEight

Chorus

EMamas don't let your babies grow up to be Acowboys

Don'tB let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

Make them be doctors and lawyers anEd such

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cAowboys

They'lBl never stay home and they're always alone

Even with someone theEy love
