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
[C]Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's
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 [C]away

[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
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and [C]such
[C]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 smokey old pool rooms
and clear mountain [G]mornin's
[A]Little warm puppies
and children and girls of the [D]night
[D]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
[D]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

[Chorus 3]
[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
[Fade out]
