My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

1D. I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy

2. Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery

1G. And loving the coDwboy ways.

2. From being alone too long.

1D. Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes

2. You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare

1E7. I burned up my childhood A7 days.

2. Knowing well that your best days are gone

1D. I learned all the rules of a moder day drifter

2. Picking up hookers instead of my pen

1G. DonUt you hold on to nDothing too long

2. I let the words of my youth fade away.

1G. Just take what you need froDm the ladies aGnd leave them

2. Old worn out saddles and old worm out memories

1D. With the wA7ords of a sadD country song.

2. With no one and no place to stay.

Chorus

This song is in 3/4 time. It sounds best if you hit the bass note of the

chord on the first beat of each measure. You might want to put in some bass

runs like

A

B

C♯

D between

A and

D chords where it sounds right.
