Cowboy Night Herd Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On [G]nig[A]ht [D]guard
I'm a -ridin'
Around a [G]thousand bedded [D]steers
And tonight my thoughts are slidin'
Down the [E]trail of distant [A]years
[D]Coyotes howlin' in the darkness
Kill[G]s my weary b[D]ones
Farmhands [G]prowl around the [D]campfire,
[Bm]make[B] the cowbo[E]ys feel [D]at h[G]ome.[D][A]
[D][G][D][A]
[D]
Now the cold north wind is blowin',
snow comes fall[G]in' [D]down
Wrapped in my saddle blanket,
[E]sleepin' on the cold, cold [A]ground
I [D]used to ponder over my luck,
[G]wondered why it never [D]changed
I was [G]happy and free around my [D]mammy's [Bm]knee,
pullin' [D]on her [A]apron [D]strings
Yodelo dee ay yoh, yo[G]delo dee ay [D]yoh, yodelo ay yoh, yodelo [A]dee ay yoh, yodelo [D]dee ay yoh, yodelo dee ay [G]yoh, [D]yodelo dee ay yoh,
yode[A]lo dee ay yoh, yodelo yodelo dee dee [D]yoh, yodelo dee ay yoh, yodelo ay [G]yoh,[D][E][A][D][G]
[D][G][D][B][E][A][D]
How long to see the sun come shinin',
feel[G]in' through my kitchen door?
[D]Just to see my dear old mammy cookin'
ham on that [E]old kitchen [A]stove
Where the [D]mockingbird sings you to sleep at night,
the moon[G]beams playin' [D]through the trees
Now some [G]like the climate out in
[D]New
[B]Mexico, but [Bm]give me [E]back my [A]sunny
Tenness[D]ee
You don't want to cry, you [G]want to [D]cry.
[A]I don't want to I want t[D]o
