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

Lyrics & chords

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

[Chorus 1]
[C]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
to be [F]cowboys
Don't [G]let 'em pick guitars
or drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and [C]such
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
to be [F]cowboys
'Cause they'll [G]never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone they [C]love

[Verse 2]
[D]Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms
and clear mountain [G]mornings
[A]Little warm puppies and children
and girls of the [D]night
Them that don't know him
won't like him and them that do
[G]Sometimes won't know how to take 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

[Chorus 2]
[D]Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
to be [G]cowboys
Don't [A]let 'em pick guitars
or drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and [D]such
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
to be [G]cowboys
'Cause they'll [A]never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone they [D]love
[Repead and fade]
