Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][Am][F][Dm][F][G][C][F][C][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]Cowboys ain't easy to love
And they're harder [F]to hold
[G]They'd rather give you a song
Then diamonds or [C]gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's
[F]And each night begins a new day
If you [G]don't understand him
And he don't die young
He'll probably just ride [C]away[Am][C]

[Verse 2]
Mamas, don't let your babies grow
up to be cow[F]boys[Dm][F]
Don't [G]let 'em pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers
[C]and such[Am][C]
Mamas, don't let your babies
grow up to be [F]cowboys[Dm][F]
[C]'Cause they'll nev[G]er stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone they [C]love[Am]
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[F][Dm][C][F][G][C][F][C]
[D]Cowboys like

[Verse 3]
smokey old pool rooms
And clear mountain morn[G]ings
[A]Little warm puppies and children
and girls of the [D]night
[Dm]Them that don't [D]know him
don't like him
And them that do [G]sometimes don't
know how [Em]to take [G]him
He ain't [A]wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think
he's [D]right

[Verse 4]
Mamas, [D]don't let your babies grow
up to be [G]cowboys[Em][G]
Don't [A]let 'em pick guitars and
drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and
lawyers [D]and such
Mamas, don't let your babies grow
up to be [G]cowboys[Em][G]
'Cause they'll [A]never stay home
and they're always alone
Even [D]with someone they love
