Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Mam[G]as, don[C]'t let your babies
grow up to be cow[F]boys.
Don't [G]let them pick guitars,
drive them old trucks,
make them be doctors and
lawyers and [C]such.
Mamas, don't let your babies
grow up to be [F]cowboys.
They'll [G]never stay home
when they're always alone
Even with someone they [C]love
[G]A c[C]owboy ain't easy to love
He's harder to [F]hold
[G]He'd rather give you a song
than a silver old [C]coat
[G]But[C]ton wires and buckles,
saw and faded rags
[F]Each night begins a new [Csus4]day[F]
If you [G]can't understand him,
he don't value you
Well, you're probably just
right of [C]way
Mamas, don't let your babies
grow up to be [F]cow[Csus4]boys[F]
Don't [G]let them pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and
lawyers and [C]such
[G]Mamas [C]don't let your babies
grow up to be [F]cow[Csus4]boys[F]
They'll [G]never stay home,
they're always alone
Even with someone they [C]love[G]
[C]Cowboys love smoky old boomerangs
and clear mountain [F]moors
[G]Little warm puppies and children,
girls of the [C]night
[G]Them [C]that don't know
him won't like him
Them that do [F]sometimes won't
know how [C]to take [F]him
Hell, [G]he ain't wrong, he's just different
His pride won't let him do things
to make you think he's [C]right
[G]Mam[C]as, don't let your babies
grow up to be [F]cowboys
Don't [G]let them pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and
lawyers and [C]such
Mamas, don't let your babies
grow up to be [F]cowboys
They'll [G]never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone they [C]love[G]
[C]Mamas, don't let your babies
grow up to be [F]cowboys
Don't [G]let them pick guitars
and drive old trucks
Make them be doctors and
lawyers and [C]such
[G]Mamas, [C]don't let your babies
grow up
to be [F]cannibals
They'll [G]never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone [C]they love
