Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys
Chords & Lyrics, etc. · v1
D G
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
A7 D
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
D G
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each night begins a new day
A7 D
If you don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probably just ride away
D G
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A7 D
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
D G
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A7 D
They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love
Up to E:
E A
Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
B7 E
Little warm puppies, and children, and girls of the night
E A
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
B7 E
He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him Do the things to make you think he's right
E A
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
B7 E
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
E A
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
B7 E
They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love
