[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Jessie went away last summer
a [G]couple of months a[D]go
After all our time together
it was [G]hard to see her [D]go
She [D]called me right up when she arrived
asked me [G]one more time to [D]come
Living on a L.A. freeway
ain't my [G]kind of having [D]fun

[Chorus 1]
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
[G]I think I'd rather ride the ran[D]ge
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
Than to [A]lay me down in love and lady's chains

[Interlude 1]

[D][G][D]

[Verse 2]
When [D]we were just beginning
it was [G]such an easy [D]way
Layin' back up in the mountains
making [G]songs for sunny [D]days
But she got [D]tired of pickin' daisies
and [G]cooking my meals for [D]me
She can live the life she wants to, yes,
and [G]it's all right with [D]me

[Chorus 2]
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
[G]I think I'd rather ride the ran[D]ge
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
Than to [A]lay me down in love and lady's [D]chains

[Bridge 1]
[A]I'd rather live on the sid[G]e of the mou[D]ntains
Than [A]wander though canyons
of [G]concrete and [D]steel
[A]I'd rather laugh
with the [G]rain and the sun[D]shine
And [C]lay [G]down my [G]sundown
in [E]some starry [A]field

[Verse 3]
Oh, but I [D]miss her in the mornin'
when [G]I awake al[D]one
And the absence of her laughter
is a [G]cold and empty [D]sound
But her [D]memory always makes me smile
and [G]I want you to k[D]now
I love her, yes, I love her
just e[G]nough to let her [D]go

[Chorus 3]
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
[G]I think I'd rather ride the ran[D]ge
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
Than to [A]lay me down
in love and lady's [D]chains

[Chorus 4]
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
[G]I think I'd rather ride the ran[D]ge
[G]I think I'd rather be a cow[D]boy
Than to [A]lay me down in love and lady's chains
