Hometown Cowboy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
He was [C]just a hometown
cowboy his [G]belly kind of [C]fat
Acme boots up on his feet and
a [G]big you- roll- it [C]hat
He [F]entered in the bull riding
he [C]did it on a dare
To please his little sweetheart
[G]with the long blond hair
[C]

[Verse 2]
He borrowed himself a bull rope
[G]spurs and a riding [C]glove
To prove he was no coward
[G]to the girl he [C]loved
His [F]bull was standing in the chute his
[C]girl was in the stands
Wating to hear the name [G]of
her brave young man
[C][Db]

[Verse 3]
He climed down on the back
of that [Ab]big ol' Bramer[Db]bull
One of the veteran cowboys came
and [Ab]gave his rope [Db]a pull
[Gb]Someone said are you ready boy
he [Db]said I guess I am
The bull jumped out and turned back
and [Ab]flung him to the sand
[Db]

[Verse 4]
The hometown girl had watched it
all and [Ab]wasn't [Db]to impr[Ab]essed
[Db]She started looking around for
a [Ab]real man from the [Db]west
She [Gb]looked around the arena
and [Db]standin' by the fence
Was a tallean cowboy with a big black
hat and [Ab]tight fittin Levi [Db]pants

[Verse 5]
It was [Db]Jim a fine young cowboy he rode
[Ab]Broncs and Bramer[Db]bulls
He rodeo them quite consistently
so his [Ab]pockets were always [Db]full
[Gb]Somehow he happened to
[Db]glance up in the stands
And he saw that pretty blond haired girl as
[Ab]she was watching him
[Db][Bm][D]

[Verse 6]
Meanwhile the hometown cowboy was
[A]back behind [D]the chute
Dabbing blood off his nose and
dumpin' [A]sand from his [D]boots
He [G]got himself together wiped
some ma[D]nure off his shirt
He knew his girl would sloothe him
cause [A]he was darn sure [D]hurt

[Verse 7]
He [D]saw his blood haired girlfriend as he
roun[A]ded the main grand[D]stand
And his poor heart sank as he saw
her leaving [A]with another [D]man
So [G]boys if you don't rodeo
leave [D]well enough alone
And don't take your girl to the pitching
cause you [A]may not take her home
[D]
